Subj: Re: [kl] Christmas music for quintet?

My best luck has always been with Christmas MIDI files of which there
must, by now, be thousands on the Web. Download and play them with
software which lets you look at the number of tracks. When there are
5, that's hopeful, unless one is a piano. In my experience you will
find one useable one out of every 10 you download and one really
great one out of about every 30. I'm blowing smoke here, but it ends
up being in that vicinity. Once you have your collection of hopeful
possibilities, import the midi files into some music notation
program, do the appropriate transpositions and you're off and running!

Good luck,

Oliver
