Harmonic Visualizations of Tonal Music
نویسنده
چکیده
Multi-timescale visualization techniques for displaying the output from key-finding algorithms are presented in this paper. The horizontal axis of the key graphs represents time in the score, while the vertical axis represents the duration of an analysis window used to select music for the key-finding algorithm. Each analysis window result is shaded according to the output key’s tonic pitch. The resulting diagrams can be used to compare differences between key-finding algorithms at different time scales and to view the harmonic structure and relationships between key regions in a musical composi-

Evaluating the General Chord Type Representation in Tonal Music and Organising GCT Chord Labels in Functional Chord Categories
The General Chord Type (GCT) representation is appropriate for encoding tone simultaneities in any harmonic context (such as tonal, modal, jazz, octatonic, atonal). The GCT allows the re-arrangement of the notes of a harmonic sonority such that abstract idiom-specific types of chords may be derived. This encoding is inspired by the standard roman numeral chord type labelling and is, therefore, ...
متن کاملAn Idiom-independent Representation of Chords for Computational Music Analysis and Generation
In this paper we focus on issues of harmonic representation and computational analysis. A new idiomindependent representation is proposed of chord types that is appropriate for encoding tone simultaneities in any harmonic context (such as tonal, modal, jazz, octatonic, atonal). The General Chord Type (GCT) representation, allows the re-arrangement of the notes of a harmonic simultaneity such th...
متن کاملStatistical Parsing for harmonic Analysis of Jazz Chord Sequences
Analysing music resembles natural language parsing in requiring the derivation of structure from an unstructured and highly ambiguous sequence of elements, whether they are notes or words. Such analysis is fundamental to many music processing tasks, such as key identification and score transcription. The focus of the present paper is on harmonic analysis. We use the three-dimensional tonal harm...
متن کاملAutomatic Functional Harmonic Analysis
Music scholars have been studying tonal harmony intensively for centuries, yielding numerous theories and models. Unfortunately, a large number of these theories are formulated in a rather informal fashion and lack mathematical precision. In this article we present HarmTrace, a functional model of Western tonal harmony that builds on well-known theories of tonal harmony. In contrast to other ap...
متن کاملDo You Hear the Same? Cardiorespiratory Responses between Mothers and Infants during Tonal and Atonal Music
This study examined the effects of tonal and atonal music on respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) in 40 mothers and their 3-month-old infants. The tonal music fragment was composed using the structure of a harmonic series that corresponds with the pitch ratio characteristics of mother-infant vocal dialogues. The atonal fragment did not correspond with a tonal structure. Mother-infant ECG and resp...
