Global Underscore

Global Underscore is a midi file that could once be found in Microsoft Powerpoint's clipart search feature.

The midi file is calm, slow and mellow and has a duration time of 1 minute, 8 seconds (1:08). It plays at 120 BPM.

Global Underscore is very similar to j0074226.mid (NaturH), another Microsoft Clipart midi, which was composed by Nathan Grigg, who also composed both Flourish and Town.

Because of this, it it highly likely that Global Underscore was also composed by Nathan Grigg, which explains how Global Underscore sounds very similar to Flourish.

Also, similarly to Flourish, Global Underscore also utilizes "Program Change", a feature that allows an instrument to change to a different one on a single channel; a Glockenspiel changes into Synth Strings 1.

Sadly, this midi file, along with all the other clipart audio files, got removed due to the clipart feature being discontinued.
