MIDI ARRANGEMENTS BY

RON TILDEN

I moved down to Georgia about 25 years ago after leaving the
Chicago, Illinois area, where I was born and grew up in.  
I worked as a Computer Consultant for many of the
large companies over the years.  The last company I worked for
I was consulting for IBM here in the Atlanta area. 
I just retired at the end of last year.
 
I have a wonderful wife and three children,
two girls and a boy and one granddaughter that has Down Syndrome. 
My son has a disability called Kleinfelter’s syndrome which is caused
by having both the male and female chromosome, so he has 47 chromosomes 
where normally you would have 46.

I enjoy making midis as a hobby and have been doing it for about 15 years. 
I am not a musician at all. I cannot play any instruments.
I use software to make the midis from sheet music.

My general approach for background/accompaniment MIDIs is

1) Use a brief Intro
2) Keep the melody out front, but the accompaniment interesting enough to support it.  Descants, countermelodies and a variety of instruments are fun!
3) Have sufficient repeats to cover all verses.  OK to use an occasional, brief interlude between verses.
4) When appropriate, repeat the chorus at the end.
5) A simple ending after the last verse/chorus helps wrap things up...

Yes, it's a very basic approach, but these MIDIs serve well as backgrounds on our web sites, and as accompaniment in group singing around the world.  They are also popping up all around the Internet!

Other types of arrangements of our songs are encouraged (classical, jazz, SATB), and each finds its place in our web sites.
