Windows 3 is an operating environment developed by Microsoft. It is a stepping block between the command line interface of DOS and the GUI OS of Windows 95. It is also the first widely popular version of Windows. Though Windows is not a game, it did include a now-popular music file called Canyon.mid.

Music
The Media Extensions version of Windows 3, which didn't ship until 1991, included example MIDI files from Passport Designs. Due to the lack of standards among sound cards at the time, the Windows 3 soundtrack has been recorded using popular devices at the moment.
Recording
The Roland SCC-1 recording starts with a 1, the Voyetra Super SAPI FM OPL3 recording starts with a 2, and the Creative Sound Blaster 16 with 3.

Game Rip
This rip includes the type-0 canyon.mid file, as well as all of the default WAV files used by Windows. All of the music and sounds were ripped from the default Windows folder.
Audio Devices
Like all Windows operating systems that would come after it, Windows 3 would support any sound card with a compatible driver. And MIDI music was altered through the sequencer. To adjust which sequencer to use, open the Main program group, and run Control Panel. Then, open MIDI Mapper and you'll be able to adjust which device Windows 3 will send its MIDI commands.
There are some device drivers which are included within the system:
