Before going further,
  1. Please read the COPYRIGHT NOTICE.
    Accessing this website means that you agree to this document.

  2. Please read the the Frequently Asked Questions. (FAQs)
    These pages explain how to navigate this website and the meaning of the symbols used in this website.

  3. This website is designed for a large screen of min. 1280px wide.
    The composer listings are 1640px wide, with fixed-size data tables.

    If you use a smaller screen resolution, our pages will be wider than your screen.
    1. You can resize the browser window by pushing [CTRL -] to see more without having to scroll sideways.
    2. If that makes the text too small, you can also increase the text size. (menu bar: View --> text size --> larger or largest.)
    Sorry mobile phone people!
    I don't see how I can possibly  fit a 17 column table onto a phone screen in a way that it would still make sense. 1280px it is.

  4. This is a website about Ave Maria songs = music!
    We want to let you hear and see the songs performed. (MIDI, MP3, video)
    Most pages in this website have mediaplayers, and they are set to start playing when you open the page!

    WARNING:
    Do not open a second work page with a MIDI player, when you already have one open. 
    Apparently Windows mediaplayer holds on to the sound card as long as the page is open.
    When you open a second window, you'll see the player move, but you won't hear the music until the other window with a MIDI player has been closed.

In this website we want to let you hear and see the songs performed. (MIDI, MP3, video)
It is therefore important that you are able to hear and see these media-players.

Just under the title above, you should see and hear a media-player playing a MIDI file.
If you do NOT see or hear that player, PLEASE EMAIL ME by clicking on this link
and specify in your message: your operating system + the name and version number of the browser in which you do NOT see or hear the player. Hopefully that will allow me to find some alternative coding for your browser.

This website has been edited and published with Microsoft Expression Web 4 free edition.
Unlike FrontPage, EW4 (supposedly) delivers standard-compliant XHTML 1.0 Transitional.
I hope that this choice may provide the better cross-browser compatibility for at least a few years.

Thank you for visiting!
