Midi files back in the days were extremely terrible. Recently (as in not so long ago) breakthru in audio cards managed to turn Midi files as very high quality sound output with the exact same files. This was a change in drivers and hardware, not a change in the files themselves.
Thus, it is extremely normal to my oppinion to have Midi files which sound awfull in a DOS environment (thus DOSBox too since it emulate an old 486) since they were originally meant to be played that way. If you play those very same Midi files in Windows then you should be able to hear a high quality sound or music.
