Abstract:

L'objectif de cette thèse est de fournir des modèles mathématiques pour la compréhension et l'analyse de représentations symboliques de la musique. En particulier, cette thèse se décompose en trois parties : comment découvrir les motifs musicaux~? Comment ces motifs sont-ils organisés avec la structure musicale ? Et finalement, comment ces motifs sont-ils joués durant la performance musicale ? Tout d'abord, cette thèse se focalise sur la tâche de découverte de motifs musicaux. Les travaux antérieurs permettent de distinguer deux approches : l'approche séquentielle et l'approche multidimensionn

Abstract:

<p>This thesis explores the potential advantages of incorporating color into musical analysis and musical concepts into art analysis. Music and the visual arts are vehicles of expression using two different perceptible waves as a medium. By comparing the physical attributes of these waves, analogous terminology between the disciplines is highlighted. Terminology parallels allow us to identify relationships between musical ideas and sonorities and color theory concepts and color harmonies. Cross-modal relationships have been explored in synesthetically inspired works in both disciplines. In Scr

Abstract:

The kind of interaction occurring between a conductor and musicians while performing a musical piece together is an unique instance of human non-verbal communication. This Musical Production Process (MPP) thus provides an interesting area of research, both from a communication perspective and by its own right. The long term goal of this project is to model the MPP with machine learning methods, for which large amounts of data are required. Since the amount of data available to this master thesis stems from a single recording session (collected at KTH May 2014) a direct modeling of the MPP is u

Abstract:

Precise pitch is important to musicians. We created algorithms for real-time pitch detection that generalise well over a range of single �voiced� musical instruments. A high pitch detection accuracy is achieved whilst maintaining a fast response using a special normalisation of the autocorrelation (SNAC) function and its windowed version, WSNAC. Incremental versions of these functions provide pitch values updated at every input sample. A robust octave detection is achieved through a modified cepstrum, utilising properties of human pitch perception and putting the pitch of the current frame wit

Abstract:

Gustav Mahler's Seventh Symphony seems to belie traditional notions of symphonic unity in that it progresses from E minor in the first movement to C major in the Finale. The repertoire of eighteenth and nineteenth century composers such as Haydn, Beethoven, and Brahms indicates that tonal holism is a significant factor for the symphonic genre. In order to reconcile Mahler's adventurous key scheme, this dissertation explores a multidimensional harmonic model that expands upon other concepts like Robert Bailey's double-tonic complex and transformation theory.

Abstract:

Composing or arranging for orchestra is a skill which is hard to learn and hard to teach. Literature on orchestration is comprehensive in terms of rules of thumb and these heuristic tools are sometimes called principles of orchestration. However, a study of the literature on orchestration revealed that these 'principles' are not theories about the outcomes and effects of specific decisions made by composers. An exception is the work of George McKay who does indeed establish principles of orchestration to some extent. Granting a few exceptions, literature on orchestration takes as point of depa

Abstract:

This paper presents a detailed comparative analysis of four important settings of Ophelia's song texts from Shakespeare's Hamlet composed by Brahms, Strauss, Chausson, and Pasatieri. Each of the first three represents a different facet of song composition during the period 1873-1919. The "Five Songs of Ophelia" by Brahms recall the simplicity of Volkslied. Strauss's "Drei Lieder der Ophelia" assume a more complex and formal demeanor, while Chausson's setting, "Chanson d'Ophelie," demonstrates French preoccupation with setting the natural speech rhythms of language.

Abstract:

Existing automatic methods of analysing musical performance can generally be described as music-oriented DSP analysis. However, this merely identifies attributes, or artefacts which can be found within the performance. This information, though invaluable, is not an analysis of the performance process. The process of performance first involves an analysis of the score (whether from a printed sheet or from memory), and through this analysis, the performer decides how to perform the piece. Thus, an analysis of the performance process requires an analysis of the performance attributes and artefact

Abstract:

A semiótica, precisamente esta de cunho estruturalista da qual tratamos, propõe-se a compreender como o sentido se organiza em objetos dos mais variados modos de manifestação: verbal, visual, cinematográfico, musical entre outros. Nesta tese, propomos a sistematização de princípios semióticos capazes de dar conta do fato musical, termo cunhado pelo semioticista Jean Molino e amplamente divulgado por Jean-Jacques Nattiez. Para tanto, valemo-nos da semiótica de Greimas e de seus seguidores, procurando estabelecer uma interlocução com as correntes da análise musical que buscam a compreensão das e

Abstract:

Many traditional Aboriginal Australian songs are no longer performed due to the complex history of colonial oppression of Aboriginal culture and the appeal of Western culture. In Australia, songs of the entertainment genre, known as a ‘corroboree’ have fared particularly badly (Turpin 2020, p. 250). In this thesis, I present a musical analysis of one such song, Wanji-wanji, that was once performed over half the country (Turpin 2020). When different recordings of Wanji-wanji were played to Aboriginal elders, they never hesitated in their identification of it being the same song, though some

Abstract:

One goal of music theory is to describe the resources of a pitch system. Traditionally, the study of pitch intervals was done using frequency ratios of the powers of small integers. Modern mathematical music theory offers an independent way of understanding the pitch system by considering intervals as transformations. This thesis takes advantage of the historical emergence of algebraic structures in musicology and, in the spirit of transformational theory, treats operations that form mathematical groups. Aspects of Neo-Riemannian theory are explored and developed, in particular the T/I and P

Abstract:

In the representation of musical audio, it is common to favour either a signal or symbol interpretation, where mid-level representation is an emerging topic. In this thesis we investigate the perspective of structured, intermediate representations through an integration of theoretical aspects related to separable sound objects, dictionary-based methods of signal analysis, and object-oriented programming. In contrast to examples in the literature that approach an intermediate representation from the signal level, we orient our formulation towards the symbolic level. This methodology is applied

Abstract:

The work of this thesis seeks to further the use of computation in musical analysis. To a lesser extent it is hoped that it will provide some little evidence of a new angle on creating analytic elements through inference, and cast light onto some areas where analysis may be used anew. Parsers for musical information are small in number, none have been implemented in functional languages, nor using monadic combination techniques. Few analytic systems are capable of, or even consider it necessary to, represent semantic ambiguity, and this is even more true of parsing systems. The work herein pre
