Locating Tune Changes and Providing a Semantic Labelling of Sets of Irish Traditional Tunes
نویسندگان
چکیده
An approach is presented which provides the tune change locations within a set of Irish Traditional tunes. Also provided are semantic labels for each part of each tune within the set. A set in Irish Traditional music is a number of individual tunes played segue. Each of the tunes in the set are made up of structural segments called parts. Musical variation is a prominent characteristic of this genre. However, a certain set of notes known as ‘set accented tones’ are considered impervious to musical variation. Chroma information is extracted at ‘set accented tone’ locations within the music. The resulting chroma vectors are grouped to represent the parts of the music. The parts are then compared with one another to form a part similarity matrix. Unit kernels which represent the possible structures of an Irish Traditional tune are matched with the part similarity matrix to determine the tune change locations and semantic part labels.

متن کاملMusical Structure in Irish Traditional Tunes
Most Irish traditional folk dance music contains two musical themes; the tune begins with one musical theme which is usually repeated, then progresses to another theme with similar musical structure and motives, which is usually also repeated. The first section is typically called the A section while the second is called the B section. Our goal is to understand, at a quantitative level, the mus...

This paper examines how sentence mode is encoded in the typically falling (Inis Mór) and rising (Donegal) varieties of Irish (Gaelic). Analyses cover the phonological description of tunes as well as the global and local f0 metrics in statements and two question types. Results suggest that sentence mode is already marked by tune in Donegal Irish. Inis Mór, however, uses the same array of tunes i...
