The Song Pages
Each greek song has
a page of its own. The song pages all have a standard format,
like the one shown below.

As you can see, the page contains the title, composer, lyricist
and lyrics of the song. Most importantly, it gives you two
ways to play the song, in its MIDI form: The one on the left plays
the song internally in the browser. The one on the right plays
the song externally.
If you want to download
and save the MIDI music for a song in your computer so you can
play it off line later, click on the external play link
using the right button of the mouse. A drop-down list
of options will appear, in which you can select the "save
target as ..." or "save link as ..."
option. This will enable you to download and save the MIDI file
in your local hard disk in whatever directory you choose. Then,
you can play the song off-line using the media player available
on your computer.
Either way, the quality of the music you will hear during
playbak depends solely on (a) the quality of the soundcard in
your computer, and (b) on the quality of the speakers attached
to your computer.
Finding the Song Pages
-
I
have a page that lists
all greek songs in the site in reverse order of arrival.
-
I
have a page that lists
all greek songs in the site alphabetically by title.
-
I
also list the Greek songs by composer. Each composer
for whom I have a reasonable number of songs has a separate
page, where his songs are listed alphabetically by title.
The songs by composers with no dedicated page are listed under
a page titled Other Composers. Whenever I get enough
songs by a composer, I dedicate a page to him, and transfer
the entries for his songs from the Other Composer page there.
-
There is one page that lists
a few melodies from operas, transcribed for solo piano.
As more songs are
added to the site, I'll no doubt find additional ways to list
them to make them more conveniently accessible. In the meantime,
please feel free to suggest ways to make the site easier to navigate.
