Index to Anthems

(Note:  The MIDI  files are just a reference for learning pitches.  While I have tried to create a file that is as close to the interpretation as I could, the MIDI files are still very mechanical.  Do NOT memorize the speed or loudness or character of notes; these items are open to much interpretation.  Keeping your eyes on the conductor will help bring out the artistic aspect of the music.)

Future selections will be added as soon as possible.  Please check back.
