A Multimodal Methodology for Music Field Recording and Archival
We present a methodology and production workflow for the field recording of traditional music from the Arabian Gulf. The fact that this music is often performed by groups that are constantly moving in space requires that special strategies are put in ...
Aligning Incomplete Lyrics of Korean Folk Song Dataset using Whisper
In this study, we introduce a method for time-alignment of lyrics in Korean folk song audio using a transformer encoder-decoder model specifically designed to utilize incomplete lyric data. We analyzed the characteristics of Korean folk song lyrics and ...
An Algorithmic Approach to Automated Symbolic Transcription of Hindustani Vocals
Although a sizable body of digital music scholarship has focused on automatic transcription, it has almost exclusively been applied to Western music. In this paper, we outline an algorithm to automate the transcription of vocal performances of ...
Computational Similarity of Portuguese Folk Melodies Using Hierarchical Reduction
We propose a method for computing the similarity of symbolically-encoded Portuguese folk melodies. The main novelty of our method is the use of a preprocessing melodic reduction at multiple hierarchies to filter the surface of folk melodies according ...
Incorporating symbolic representations of traditional music into a digital library
This paper presents the outcomes of the recent development of the existing digital library dedicated to Polish traditional music, aimed at improving the discovery of musical heritage objects at the level of national and European digital content ...
Attitudes of Music Scholars Towards Digital Musicology
Music research appears to lag behind other fields in adopting methods coming from the digital humanities (DH). Researchers have hypothesized that this might be due to the gulf that exists between music scholars who use computational approaches and ...
Understanding the needs of music editors in a digital world. Adding support for editorial markup to the mei-friend editor
The mei-friend editor aims to address the challenges faced in the "last mile" of preparing MEI encodings, specifically the conversion and correction of the encodings through a user-friendly interface that allows users to manipulate the MEI encoding ...
The “OpenScore String Quartet” Corpus
The “OpenScore String Quartet” Corpus is a new dataset of historic works for string quartets, encoded by a dedicated team of volunteers, and released freely for all use cases (CC0). In creating this corpus, we built on the experience amassed during the ‘...
Sounding Out Reconstruction Error-Based Evaluation of Generative Models of Expressive Performance
Generative models of expressive piano performance are usually assessed by comparing their predictions to a reference human performance. A generative algorithm is taken to be better than competing ones if it produces performances that are closer to a ...
MonodiKit: A data model and toolkit for medieval monophonic chant
We present MonodiKit, a Python library for the analysis and processing of medieval chant documents. While MonodiKit was designed specifically for working with data in the monodi+ data format as edited by the Corpus Monodicum project, its comprehensive ...
Text boundaries do not provide a better segmentation of Gregorian antiphons
It has been previously proposed that syllable and word boundaries in Gregorian chant texts can be used to segment chant melodies in a more meaningful way than segmentation methods that do not take textual information into account, based on how ...
Exploring early vocal music and its lute arrangements: Using F-TEMPO as a musicological tool
In its earliest state, F-TEMPO (Full-Text searching of Early Music Prints Online) enabled searching in the musical content of about 30,000 page-images of early printed music from the British Library’s Early Music Online collection (GB-Lbl). The images ...
Visual presentation and exploration of musical corpora: Case Study: Oskar Kolberg's Opera Omnia
Extensive musical collections are growing with increasing momentum, and there are progressively more digital tools for analysing musical corpora. These tools visualize statistical information in diagrams, simplifying the analysis. This kind of data ...
Cross-Corpus Melodic Similarity For Enriching Archival Collections
We present initial results of interlinking several large tune collections. This is achieved through the use of a similarity measure algorithm to create ranked lists and to find highly similar pairs between collections. These pairs can reveal previously ...
The ‘Measure Map’: an inter-operable standard for aligning symbolic music
Aligning versions of the same source material has been a persistent challenge in the field of digital libraries for musicology, and a barrier to progress. The growing number of publicly accessible symbolic datasets (of scores, analyses, and more) now ...
Designing a Spatial Hypermedia Musical “Lab Notebook” to Support Ethnomusicology Research
Digital technology most commonly used in ethnomusicology research consists of: audio/video files, as typically the only available representations of the music; audio players of varying levels of sophistication to explore nuances in the captured ...
Listen Here! A Web-native digital musicology environment for machine-assisted close listening
Close listening is a mainstay of the musicological study of performance recordings, but paying focused, critical attention carries high cognitive overhead, making the application of this approach difficult when dealing with large corpora. In Signature ...
Collaborative Musicology: Designing a Digital Library of Musical Events Ephemera
We explore the challenges and potential for collaborative musicological research in creating a Digital Library centred on musical ephemera relating to historical performances. Runs of concert programmes and season brochures, constituting a metadata-...
Connecting online early music libraries and musicological resources: Experiments in ergonomics in the Biblissima+ framework
The French research infrastructure for written heritage Biblissima started in 2012. It included in its second phase, from 2021 onwards, a subgroup focused on musical written heritage, which aims at enhancing the use and accessibility of music data in ...
