Midis wanted
This is probably the first time the sheet music of many of these songs have been made available on the net, so no midis will be found for many of them. I am hoping some keen sequencing fan will make some midis for them, if you do please let me know.
How the author describes this collection:
They need no introduction ; they come with the latch-string assurance of old and valued friends, whose separate welcomes have encouraged them to drop in all together. They are not popular songs merely, nor old songs exclusively, but well-known songs, of various times, on almost every theme of human interest. They are the songs we have all sung, or wished we could sing ; the songs our mothers crooned over our cradles, and our fathers hummed at their daily toil; the songs our sisters sang when they were the prima donnas of our juvenile world ; the songs of our sweethearts and our boon companions ; the songs that have swayed popular opinion, inspirited armies, sustained revolutions, honored the king, made presidents, and marked historical epochs.
