Tubular Bell Part One MIDI

Last revised: 12 December 1995

This page refers to a MIDI file that I found on the net not too long ago. It is a transcription of Tubular Bells Part One in its entirety. Hence, it is quite large, over 300k in fact. This may cause problems for some people because the MCI MIDI Sequencer found in Microsoft Windows 3.1 can't handle it and any MIDI player that relies on it will crash Windows (they did for me, anyway). Cakewalk, which has its own sequencer, handles it nicely, as does Gravis' PlayMidi in DOS (for those who have a Gravis UltraSound). It still takes awhile to load, but it's worth it. Sometimes it sounds exactly like the original. Anyway, I provide it here and I also provide a zipped version who want to play with it off-line.
