Ever since Hugh Baillie and Philippe Oboussier’s pioneering study of York, Borthwick Institute MS Mus 1, better known as the York Masses, it has been generally accepted that its compositions, if not the choirbook itself, originated elsewhere than York. Two locations claimed primacy in their bid for the manuscript’s original provenance, Lincoln and London, owing to the internal evidence of two c...

The most dominant source in audio is usually perceived as melody. The estimation of it’s fundamental frequency can be treated as melody estimation. The task become difficult when the polyphony of the audio is high. To determine the most dominant source in human perception, perceptual properties have to be accounted. In this algorithm, we applied psychoacoustic property to the data to estimate t...

The purpose of this article is to study polyphonic techniques in the opera choirs M. Mussorgsky. question raised about identity Mussorgsky's thinking from point view free refraction forms and writing Western European polyphony it. subject are operas "Boris Godunov" "Khovanshchina". Through synthesis research methods, including musicology choral studies, specific features revealed. Attention dra...

The subject of the study is possibility applying M.M. Bakhtin's theory polyphony to analysis dramatic works. Bakhtin’s concept "polyphony" associated with identification a new novel genre – polyphonic and type artistic thinking, which different from monological type. Bakhtin justified phenomenon on example work F.M. Dostoevsky, does it have wider distribution? According many Chinese researchers...

This paper presents an evolutionary music software system that generates complex rhythmic polyphony in performance. A population of rhythms is derived from analysis of source material, using a first order Markov chain derived from subdivision transitions. The population evolves in performance, and each generation is analysed to provide rules for subsequent generations.

In this paper, we focus on the rhythmic component of symbolic music similarity, proposing several ways to extract a monophonic rhythmic signature from a symbolic polyphonic score. To go beyond the simple extraction of all time intervals between onsets (noteson extraction), we select notes according to their length (short and long extractions) or their intensities (intensity+/− extractions). Onc...
