I found a MIDI file of Solage's "Fumeux Fume", in Pierre Schwob's infamous
Classical MIDI Archives. It's on the Early Music page:

<http://prs.net/early.html>

Direct link to the MIDI file:
<http://prs.net/cgi-bin/n.cgi/nep/8/fumeux.mid>.

The web page considers the piece "The 'stairway to heaven' of the 14th
century".

Possibly due to the (lousy) quality of my sound card, I found the piece
easier to understand if I used a trombone instead of a banjo on the second
track, and took all 4 tracks up an octave.

P.S.: Coincidentally, an old Gabrieli sequence of mine is on the same web
page (<http://prs.net/early.html>).
