Seasons

Seasons, aka SEASONS.MID, Seasons.mid, or Four Seasons is a midi file that came with installing Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions. It can only be found in Windows 3.0.

It is a midi composition of Vivaldi's Four Seasons - Spring. The midi file itself was composed in 1991 by Passport Designs, however.

The song lasts for 1 minute 28 seconds (1:28). It plays at 98 BPM.

On Windows 3.0 with Multimedia Extensions, with Tandy Demo Utilities when going into the Multimedia Application Demos, and then into Entertainment, and then into Music for Multimedia: Passport, it will load up a Passport Multimedia Music Demo with a midi Jukebox; Almonds will be one of the midi files featured, under the name "Four Seasons"

Sadly, it is not played in the video.

Listen to Midi
Since the midi file was designed to run on an OPL soundcard such as an OPL3, the midi file will sound drastically different on newer versions of Windows and Emulators since they use a Roland Wavetable General Midi soundcard.

(Note: If you're using Google Chrome or Opera, the midi file will download instead)
