Classical Score MIDI files?

[tehlord]

Possibly not the right forum and a bit of a general question.

Is there any place where I can download MIDI files or a Cubase project of a classical score?

I'm not bothered about the musical aspect of it but I want to polish up my instrument groupings and try to retrain my ear as to what instruments make what timbre when played together.

Mmmmmmmm'k ta!

Another resource that I found useful was the Principles of Orchestration and Jazz arranging Online at Northern Sound:

While you cannot download the midi files you see and hear the arrangements in real time and there are good examples of instrument/timbre combinations that are quite instructive. They are masterfully done and quite extensive in scope.

This page is a good example:
