Cannot Play MIDI Files in QuickTime.app (macOS 10.15.5)

When I try to play a MIDI file, I get an error message: "The file isn’t compatible with QuickTime Player." I know I used to be able to play them in QuickTime, so I am puzzled by this. I can play them in GarageBand and VLC. TIA Emily

MIDI files have been abandoned by QuickTime X and you'll need another player to listen to them.
