Example of getting Bach from MusicXML using music21

bach_parse_example.py

"""
Example of iterating Bach Chorales and getting individual voice parts
In this case, want specifically 4 voice pieces only
Also transpose to key of C (major or minor depending on piece)
Also shows how to write out all the xml as midi
