Try this:

miditofreq[n_Integer] := (440./64) 2^((n + 3)/12);

melody[{p_Integer, d_Real}] :=
  Play[Sin[miditofreq[p] 2 \[Pi] t], {t, 0, d}, SampleRate -> 44100,
   SampleDepth -> 16];

Sound[melody[#] & /@ {{57, 0.4}, {59, 0.400904}, {55, 0.397964}, {43,
    0.397964}, {50, 0.401819}}, SoundVolume -> 0.5]
