Discovering Chord Idioms Through Beatles and Real Book Songs

چکیده
Modern collections of symbolic and audio music content provide unprecedented possibilities for musicological research, but traditional qualitative evaluation methods cannot realistically cope with such amounts of data. We are interested in harmonic analysis and propose key-independent chord idioms derived from a bottom-up analysis of musical data as a new subject of musicological interest. In order to motivate future research on audio chord idioms and on probabilistic models of harmony we perform a quantitative study of chord progressions in two popular music collections. In particular, we extract common subsequences of chord classes from symbolic data, independent of key and context, and order them by frequency of occurrence, thus enabling us to identify chord idioms. We make musicological observations on selected chord idioms from the collections.

Characterisation of Harmony With Inductive Logic Programming
We present an approach for the automatic characterisation of the harmony of song sets making use of relational induction of logical rules. We analyse manually annotated chord data available in RDF and interlinked with web identifiers for chords which themselves give access to the root, bass, component intervals of the chords. We pre-process these data to obtain high-level information such as ch...
متن کاملAutomatic Chord Recognition Based on Probabilistic Integration of Acoustic Features, Bass Sounds, and Chord Transition
This paper describes a method that identifies musical chords in polyphonic musical signals. As musical chords mainly represent the harmony of music and are related to other musical elements such as melody and rhythm, we should be able to recognize chords more effectively if this interrelationship is taken into consideration. We use bass pitches as clues for improving chord recognition. The prop...

This report describes a probabilistic approach to template-based chord recognition in music signals. The algorithm only takes chromagram data and a user-defined dictionary of chord templates as input data. No training or musical information such as key, rhythm or chord transition models is required. The chord occurrences are treated as probabilistic events, whose probabilities are learned from ...
متن کاملA Discrete Mixture Model for Chord Labelling
Chord labels for recorded audio are in high demand both as an end product used by musicologists and hobby musicians and as an input feature for music similarity applications. Many past algorithms for chord labelling are based on chromagrams, but distribution of energy in chroma frames is not well understood. Furthermore, non-chord notes complicate chord estimation. We present a new approach whi...
