Some backing trax for STAGE USE

[Basil Henriques]

I used to do a LOT of programming MIDI files for the main MIDI File companies, the Tony Christie repertoire was my forte', as well as my programming of the semi orchestral pop hits like Welcome Home, The Last Farewell and the likes..Still get royalties. TG.
Most of this was by me over done 15 years ago !

"So Deep is the Night," and Tony Christie had a hit with it, that's the version my backing track copies..Tony Christie version

ONLY FOR NON COMMERCIAL USE PLEASE..OK FOR STAGE USE.
The files are complete with lyrics, and are mostly GM AND GS compatible..
The SOUND quality is determined SOLELY by your soundcard or the MIDI module you're using.

Basil - that's really generous. I used to put midi-files together, and even with cut & paste facility it still takes a fair bit of effort to knock out decent arrangements. Yours are very good.

Thanks Ken, the cut/paste isn't always appropriate, (as helpful as it is) as the objective of the commercial MIDI programmer is to emulate the backing of a specific recording, and verses, choruses and fills are not always repetitive on an actual record, especially the orchestrated ones.
Check out the variations on these ones:-

One I did for the James Last Dublin concert..
There is no title for it as it was just for the show, the sequence was created from the score I wrote..

An "Unnamed" person asked me to do some tracks and I obliged, unfortunately the pecuniary remuneration wasn't exactly reciprocal taking into consideration the original agreement..
So FOR ALL TO USE FREE OF Charge..
