Johann-Sebastian Bach (1685-1750): Matthaüspassion BWV 244
This page is overly crowded. The reason is that in the beginning we
wanted to find a complete version of the Matthaüspassion BWV 244 in
MIDI format, but could only find various parts of the work at several
sites on the Web.
The two most complete we could find were on the page
KCN's MIDI data collection(1.1 J. S. Bach - Vocal Works)
from the site
KCN's Home Page
Unfortunately, the work is not complete as numbers 60 to 68 are missing.
The site
Muse Data
has an impressive page
Bach: Passio Secundum Matthaeum, BWV 244 (Bach-Gesellschaft)
Unfortunately, the coverage is missing recitative #12 and
the files only contain pitch and duration data.
The parts have no tempo indications and instrument
specifications. One further step is to complement the files with
the help of the score, which we leave as an exercize to those
interested.
We had decided to centralize all the files that
we could find on the present page, when, with the help of the search engine
MIDI Explorer,
we discovered
on
Chosei Shibata Website
this
cryptic page
(Google translation)
containing a complete version of Matthaüspassion
.
However due to the hard work of searching the Web, and the
good quality of some of the files, we decided to keep all of those
we had collected so far.
Due to their heterogeous origins, the file names are quite
different from version to version. We decided to duplicate the files
in order to provide an homogeneous naming convention so that one can compare the different
versions. These new files are subject to modifications.
Our naming convention is as follows:
BWV244-XX-YY-ORIGIN_AUTHOR-ORIGINAL_FILENAME
where XX is the part number, YY is a unique index for the original source,
ORIGIN_AUTHOR indicates the origin and the author of the sequence and
ORIGINAL_FILENAME is (obviously) the original file name.
Here are the locations from which we collected the files, with
the name of the authors who sequenced the files.
The layout of this page comes from Walter F. Bischof's
Matthaüspassion text page.
