Automatic Melodic Transcription of Flamenco Singing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background in ethnomusicology and music analysis. Melody in flamenco music is characterized by the presence of microtonality, pitch glides (portamenti or smooth transitions), a short pitch range or tessitura (usually limited to a range of a sixth and characterized by the insistence on a note and its contiguous ones), the use of enharmonic scale (having microtonal intervallic differences between enharmonic notes), a Baroque ornamentation (with an expressive function) and the use of a Greek Dorian mode in the most traditional songs (Fernández 2004).

Automatic Transcription of Flamenco Singing Melodic Transcription of Flamenco Singing from Monophonic and Polyphonic Music Recordings
We propose a method for the automatic transcription of flamenco singing from monophonic and polyphonic music recordings. Our transcription system is based on estimating the fundamental frequency (f0) of the singing voice, and follows an iterative strategy for note segmentation and labelling. The generated transcriptions are used in the context of melodic similarity, style classification and pat...
متن کاملThe Flamenco Cante: Automatic Characterization of Flamenco Singing by Analyzing Audio Recordings
Flamenco singing is a highly expressive improvisational artform characterized by its deviation from the Western tonal system, freedom in rhythmic interpretation and a high amount of melodic ornamentation. Consequently, a singing performance represents a fusion of style-related constraints and the individual spontaneous interpretation. This study focuses on the description of the characteristics...
متن کاملPredominant Fundamental Frequency Estimation vs Singing Voice Separation for the Automatic Transcription of Accompanied Flamenco Singing
This work evaluates two strategies for predominant fundamental frequency (f0) estimation in the context of melodic transcription from flamenco singing with guitar accompaniment. The first strategy extracts the f0 from salient pitch contours computed from the mixed spectrum; the second separates the voice from the guitar and then performs monophonic f0 estimation. We integrate both approaches wi...
متن کاملMelodic Contour and Mid-Level Global Features Applied to the Analysis of Flamenco Cantes
This work focuses on the topic of melodic characterization and similarity in a specific musical repertoire: a cappella flamenco singing, more specifically in debla and martinete styles. We propose the combination of manual and automatic description. First, we use a state-of-the-art automatic transcription method to account for general melodic similarity from music recordings. Second, we define ...
متن کاملComputational Models for Perceived Melodic Similarity in A Cappella Flamenco Singing
The present study investigates the mechanisms involved in the perception of melodic similarity in the context of a cappella flamenco singing performances. Flamenco songs belonging to the same style are characterized by a common melodic skeleton, which is subject to spontaneous improvisation containing strong prolongations and ornamentations. For our research we collected human similarity judgem...
