Garageband download for Big Sur?

Hi there,

GarageBand stopped working on my MacBook Pro (mid-2014 model, 16Gb, Mac OS Big Sur v11.7.2). An error report generated and said I should delete and reinstall Garageband. So I deleted the program, and when I went to reinstall it from the App store it said the current version of Garageband cannot be installed on my older OS.

Can I download an older version of Garageband onto this MacBook? Looking at the version history it seems like I need Garageband v10.4.1 or 10.4.2 to be compatible with Big Sur (which is the last OS this age of MacBook can reach).
