I am therefore correcting the link on this score page, since Piet gave permission to use the midi. I now think we should keep the page. -- [[User:Vaarky|Vaarky]] 03:39, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

:Thanks Vaarky for the info. We should now consider the usefulness of the midi file ''per se''. Piet may well have used a tool like Encore to create this midi, but unfortunatelly we don't have the source file, so we can't create a useful PDF from it. Because of this, I still maintain that the page should be deleted, as it doesn't hold a valid edition in my point of view. Another point is that there are many sites out there that host classical midi files, hundreds of files each. If CPDL starts accepting midis as editions, all these sites would in theory be allowed to index their midi collections at CPDL; add to this that the authorship of midi files is practically impossible to identify, complicating even more things with respect to copyright. Just food for thought. —[[User:Carlos|Carlos]] [{{carlos}} {{mail}}] 04:39, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Found corrected URL for broken midi link

It looks like Piet Mennen who ran www.choirmidi.nl/musicrb.html, died in Feb 2006, and his files have been moved to the following URL: http://www.couleurvocale.nl/midi.htm

Rough English translation I got by using automated tools:

Our bass Piet Mennen, who died in February 2006, had a large collection of midi files that can serve as study aids for choral singers. To preserve his collection, we included in our site, partly as a tribute to Piet.

I am therefore correcting the link on this score page, since Piet gave permission to use the midi. I now think we should keep the page. -- Vaarky 03:39, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
