However, the lack of both large and diverse musical corpora has made furthering work on this topic difficult. This paper addresses this issue by testing four purported statistical tendencies in melodic organization across four substantial samples of culturally diverse music. Three corpora include musical samples of European, Native American, and Chinese folk music. The fourth, a new corpus devised specifically for the purposes of this study, is a corpus of cross-cultural folk music including material from nearly 700 sampled audio recordings collected from 44 distinct cultures. The creation of this corpus involved establishing clear guidelines on how to parse audio materials, how to define a musical “phrase”, and how to transcribe musical information (e.g. pitch and duration). While the primary purpose of this paper is to contribute to the dialogue on corpus creation techniques involving culturally diverse music, results for the testing of all four hypotheses are included. Results are consistent with a number of broad statistical tendencies in musical phrases that are evident above chance levels, and are common across the repertoires sampled. These include the tendency for small over large pitch movements, for large leaps to ascend, for musical phrases to fall in pitch, and for phrases to begin with an initial pitch rise. Limitations of our corpus creation methods and empirical tests are highlighted.","PeriodicalId":156859,"journal":{"name":"8th International Conference on Digital Libraries for Musicology","volume":"2020 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114305263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The scope of large corpora presents difficulties for curators but offers new opportunities to musicologists and music theorists. We propose an application of graph theory which enables comparison of harmonic content from musical audio across collections of recordings. We introduce a graph schema wherein the chord sequences of musical recordings are used to create directed, weighted graphs which represent the underlying harmonic structure of the source material. We believe this application of graph theory offers novel advantages over existing approaches: 1) the relative positions of the chords in the time domain are retained, allowing the graphs to represent entire harmonic sequences of musical material, and 2) sequences from multiple sources are combined into a single graph, exposing features which are common to the source musical material, but which may vary or be absent from any particular instance. To test the schema, graphs were generated from recordings of ‘Georgia on My Mind’. We were able to produce examples demonstrating how this schema could be used to identify the essential harmonic framework of the song, to gain insight regarding the usage of chord substitutions by an artist during a single performance of the song, and to compare chord choices by two artists representing two different genres.","PeriodicalId":156859,"journal":{"name":"8th International Conference on Digital Libraries for Musicology","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131005630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A novel chord representation, the General Chord Type (GCT) representation, was developed to be adaptable to a broad variety of harmonic idioms from tonal to atonal. Given a binary classification of intervals into consonant or dissonant, GCT rearranges the notes of a given simultaneity such that the base of the chord encoding is consonant. This study proposes a refined elegant version of the GCT algorithm that takes into account a graded raking of intervallic consonance, maintains the core characteristics of GCT and resolves known problems such as certain types of chord ambiguities (more than one chord types for a single pitch collection) and orderings of intervals (wrong base/root and chord extensions). To evaluate the performance of the new version, common tonal chords, whose encodings are well established, are compared with encodings from both versions, as well with other existing encoding systems. In the novel algorithm, ambiguous outputs are reduced significantly, inversions are correctly identified, and foreign chord notes are organised towards the most dissonant top end of the encodings. The algorithm performs well in atonal contexts by encoding Tn-Types with great accuracy.","PeriodicalId":156859,"journal":{"name":"8th International Conference on Digital Libraries for Musicology","volume":"153 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121874934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a welcome development that stands to complement the more established attention to collections of musical resources like scores, recordings, and manuscripts. This paper begins by presenting a new digital library of 12-tone rows used in the repertoire. The list incorporates and extends all previous scholarly and crowd-sourced efforts to provide human- and computer-readable information about the rows and their usage including composer, work, and date. We present this list in both textual and musical notation, and in both ‘fixed’ and editable formats to support the widest possible use and development of this resource across pedagogy and research. Further, we present one initial application in each of those domains. First is a free, public-facing anthology as part of the Open Music Theory Textbook v.2, providing teachers and students with rows presented in terms of properties such as combinatoriality. Second is a substantial study of more novel row properties, using the Discrete Fourier transform to examine distributions of harmonic qualities in the rows, as well as trends by composer and date. Finally, to support replication and extension, we provide the list, anthology, and all the associated processing code used at https://github.com/MarkGotham/Serial_Analyser.","PeriodicalId":156859,"journal":{"name":"8th International Conference on Digital Libraries for Musicology","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116494579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a proof-of-concept system that enables library users to search musically for songs or pieces that match to sung, hummed, or typed note queries. We chose to work with a corpus of 80 Lakeland Hunting Song tunes (Items) that have been collected recently, and for which the archivist wanted to make a resource that was easily searchable in terms of its musical content. Existing systems such as that at folktunefinder.com are robust to rhythmic changes but not to missing or interpolated notes, so we employed a geometric hashing approach as the basis for determining matches and as a potential improvement on existing work. An evaluation indicates that the system works quickly and effectively. We discuss some of the examples arising from its use, and indicate how future work building on this proof-of-concept system may make it possible to search other collections of songs or pieces in a more natural, musical way.

The InterMusE project aims to support this shared instinct to archive by capturing and, crucially, linking different forms of data regarding the musical events provided by three of these local concert-giving organisations, beginning with the digitisation of their collections and with a view to producing a dynamic, open-access digital archive. This paper outlines our approach to establishing a foundation for developing a new kind of digital archive for musicology that is both valuable for researchers, fulfils the needs of the societies and their communities, and sheds light on community music-making on a national and, ultimately, international scale. By carrying out a series of preliminary scoping exercises, including informal interviews and archival-collection assessments, we can compare current archiving and preservation activities across the societies. These conversations bring emerging themes, issues and challenges into focus, raising pertinent questions that will inform our development of transformative tools and techniques for community digitisation projects.","PeriodicalId":156859,"journal":{"name":"8th International Conference on Digital Libraries for Musicology","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130913323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
