  • COOK Referential Sets Referential Tonics and the Analysis Of
    REFERENTIAL SETS, REFERENTIAL TONICS, AND THE ANALYSIS OF CONTEMPORARY JAZZ by Scott Alexander Cook B.Mus, McGill University, 2004 M.A., The University of British Columbia, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Music) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) April 2012 © Scott Alexander Cook, 2012 ABSTRACT While jazz has become more integrated into academia, the repertoire that is commonly examined is out of date. Today's leading jazz scholars tend to focus on a handful of musicians who made their mark in the '50s and '60s. But jazz writing has continued to evolve in the last fifty years, particularly in regards to harmony. Though many rooted chords—including MM7, mm7, and Mm7—can be heard in succession, the relationships between adjacent chords are obscure, and rarely manifest the standard II–V–I progression found in classic jazz. Often, successive chords belong to different diatonic sets. Some composers have eliminated chord symbols from their lead sheets altogether, leaving harmonic interpretation and relationships even more open-ended. Since the inception of modal jazz in the late '50s, priority has been given to groups of notes and the ways that they can interact, as opposed to specific chords, keys, and function. This presents a challenge not only for harmonic analysis but also for improvising on these changes in performance. Nevertheless, pitch-class organization can often be heard to promote a hierarchical ranking amongst the chords, resulting in strong points of reference. This dissertation develops and applies a theory of referential sets, for analyzing and improvising over representative examples of chromatic chord successions found in some contemporary jazz.

    Musical MIDI Accompaniment MmA Chord Reference Manual This document was prepared from version 21.09 of MmA. Bob van der Poel Wynndel, BC, Canada [email protected] September 29, 2021 Chapter 1 Chord Reference This document is a reference to the chords and scales use in MmA. It has been generated directly from the module chordtable.py in the MmA sources. Each section shows the chord name, a brief description, the chord notes for a “C” chord, and the associated scale tones. These chords and scales are used in MmA to generate chords, bass, arpeggios, arias, harmonies and scales. In all cases you will need to preface the name with a chord pitch. For example, the reference for an 11th chord is listed simply as “11”; you would use a “C11” or “Eb11”, etc. in your MmA source file. Read the MmA Reference Guide if you don’t understand this. This document was prepared as a reference to verify the correctness of the chords and scales used in MmA. If you find an error, please let the author know. MmA defines 98 unique chords plus 62 aliases. Chords used in MmA via aliased names are listed after the main name. (♭5) — Major triad with flat 5th. MMA notatation requires the () around the name.

    Automatic Melody Harmonization with Triad Chords: A Comparative Study Yin-Cheng Yeh, Wen-Yi Hsiao, Satoru Fukayama, Tetsuro Kitahara, Benjamin Genchel, Hao-Min Liu, Hao-Wen Dong, Yian Chen, Terence Leong, and Yi-Hsuan Yang ARTICLE HISTORY Compiled April 28, 2021 ABSTRACT Several prior works have proposed various methods for the task of automatic melody harmonization, in which a model aims to generate a sequence of chords to serve as the harmonic accompaniment of a given multiple-bar melody sequence. In this paper, we present a comparative study evaluating and comparing the performance of a set of canonical approaches to this task, including a template matching based model, a hidden Markov based model, a genetic algorithm based model, and two deep learning based models. The evaluation is conducted on a dataset of 9,226 melody/chord pairs we newly collect for this study, considering up to 48 triad chords, using a standardized training/test split. We report the result of an objective evaluation using six different metrics and a subjective study with 202 participants. KEYWORDS Symbolic music generation; automatic melody harmonization; functional harmony 1. Introduction Automatic melody harmonization, a sub-task of automatic music generation (Fern´andez& Vico, 2013), refers to the task of creating computational models that can generate a harmonic accompaniment for a given melody (Chuan & Chew, 2007; Simon, Morris, & Basu, 2008). Here, the term harmony, or harmonization, is used to refer to chordal accompaniment, where an accompaniment is defined relative to the melody as the supporting section of the music. Figure 1 illustrates the inputs and outputs for a melody harmonization model.
