I tried timidity:

$ timidity 1.midi Requested buffer size 32768, fragment size 8192 ALSA
pcm 'default' set buffer size 32768, period size 8192 bytes Playing
1.midi MIDI file: 1.midi Format: 1 Tracks: 3 Divisions: 384 Sequence:
control track Text: creator: Text: GNU LilyPond 2.18.2 Track name:
:soprano Instrument: choir aahs Track name: :tenor Instrument: choir
aahs No instrument mapped to tone bank 0, program 52 - this instrument
will not be heard No pre-resampling cache hit Last 3 MIDI events are
ignored Playing time: ~31 seconds Notes cut: 0 Notes lost totally: 0

This leads me to believe that there's more to configure somewhere in
order to get the "Instrument: choir aahs" but I don't know where to do
that.

You usually have to install instrument patches (AKA sound-fonts) to go with
timidity.  On my system, I have a choice in the repo, either freepats,
or fluid-soundfont.

I found an answer at:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/458616/soundfont-with-timidity

It had me edit /etc/timidity/timidity.cfg and comment out freepats.cfg and uncomment fluidr3_gs.cfg. That works for timidity.

Now I need to find out how to get the same kind of thing in Frescobaldi and Audacity.

Thanks!
