  • Integrating Paper and Digital Music Information Systems Karen Lin and Tim Bell University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand
    Integrating Paper and Digital Music Information Systems Karen Lin and Tim Bell University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand Abstract Active musicians generally rely on extensive personal paper-based music information retrieval systems containing scores, parts, compositions, and arrangements of published and hand-written music. Many have a bias against using computers to store, edit and retrieve music, and prefer to work in the paper domain rather than using digital documents, despite the flexibility and powerful retrieval opportunities available. In this paper we propose a model of operation that blurs the boundaries between the paper and digital domains, offering musicians the best of both worlds. A survey of musicians identifies the problems and potential of working with digital tools, and we propose a system using colour printing and scanning technology that simplifies the process of moving music documents between the two domains. Keywords : user interfaces, user needs, optical music recognition 1. Introduction Traditionally musicians have stored and retrieved music scores using paper-based systems. Many musicians have built up personal libraries of music books, compositions, arrangements and sheet music. The acquisition or creation of documents is straightforward, but the retrieval or modification of scores is hindered by the inflexibility of the paper medium. A digital music library would have a number of benefits, including convenient retrieval (instead of searching through piles of music), ease of processing (such as part extraction), and communication (sending electronic copies to other performers). However working with digital documents also poses significant barriers for users more familiar with traditional paper documents. In this paper we explore the relationship between the paper and digital domains, and the possibility of allowing easy conversion between the two to allow documents to exist in both domains and be processed in whichever domain is the most convenient.

  • Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600
    Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 By Leon Chisholm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Massimo Mazzotti Summer 2015 Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 Copyright 2015 by Leon Chisholm Abstract Keyboard Playing and the Mechanization of Polyphony in Italian Music, Circa 1600 by Leon Chisholm Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Kate van Orden, Co-Chair Professor James Q. Davies, Co-Chair Keyboard instruments are ubiquitous in the history of European music. Despite the centrality of keyboards to everyday music making, their influence over the ways in which musicians have conceptualized music and, consequently, the music that they have created has received little attention. This dissertation explores how keyboard playing fits into revolutionary developments in music around 1600 – a period which roughly coincided with the emergence of the keyboard as the multipurpose instrument that has served musicians ever since. During the sixteenth century, keyboard playing became an increasingly common mode of experiencing polyphonic music, challenging the longstanding status of ensemble singing as the paradigmatic vehicle for the art of counterpoint – and ultimately replacing it in the eighteenth century. The competing paradigms differed radically: whereas ensemble singing comprised a group of musicians using their bodies as instruments, keyboard playing involved a lone musician operating a machine with her hands.

  • O Imaginêrio De Antonio Carlos Jobim
    O IMAGINÁRIO DE ANTONIO CARLOS JOBIM: REPRESENTAÇÕES E DISCURSOS Patrícia Helena Fuentes Lima A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Languages (Portuguese). Chapel Hill 2008 Approved by: Advisor: Monica Rector Reader: Teresa Chapa Reader: John Chasteen Reader: Fred Clark Reader: Richard Vernon © 2008 Patrícia Helena Fuentes Lima ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT PATRÍCIA HELENA FUENTES LIMA: Antonio Carlos Jobim: representações e discursos (Under the direction of Monica Rector) My aim with the present work is to describe the personal and creative trajectory of this artist that became known to his audience and people as a hero in the mythological sense—an individual that constructs a series of victories and defeats that continues until death, after which he is glorified by his community. Therefore, I approach the narratives that made him famous: the ones produced by the print press as well as those texts that negotiate meaning, memory, domain and identity created by his fans. I will place special emphasis on the fact that his public produced a definitive narrative about his figure, an account imbued with devotion, familiarity and creativity following his death. More specifically, I identify intertwined relations between the Brazilian audience and the media involved with creating the image of Antonio Carlos Jobim. My hypothesis is that Antonio Carlos Jobim’s image was exhaustively associated with the Brazilian musical movement Bossa Nova for ideological reasons. Specially, during a particular moment in Brazilian history—the Juscelino Kubitschek’s years (1955-1961).

All rights reserved. doi:10.3233/978-1-61499-065-9-82 WIKI::SCORE A Collaborative Environment For Music Transcription And Publishing JoseJo´ ao˜ ALMEIDA a, Nuno Ramos CARVALHO a and Jose´ Nuno OLIVEIRA a a e-mail: {jj,narcarvalho,jno}@di.uminho.pt University of Minho, Braga, Portugal Abstract. Music sources are most commontly shared in music scores scanned or printed on paper sheets. These artifacts are rich in information, but since they are images it is hard to re-use and share their content in todays’ digital world. There are modern languages that can be used to transcribe music sheets, this is still a time consuming task, because of the complexity involved in the process and the typical huge size of the original documents. WIKI::SCORE is a collaborative environment where several people work to- gether to transcribe music sheets to a shared medium, using the notation. This eases the process of transcribing huge documents, and stores the document in a well known notation, that can be used later on to publish the whole content in several formats, such as a PDF document, images or audio files for example. Keywords. music transcription, Abc, wiki, collaborative work, music publishing Introduction Music transcriptions are most electronically shared is pictorial formats, as pictures or scans (copyright permitting) of the original music scores. Although this information is semantically rich it is hard to re-use or transform in automatic and systematic ways, without human intervention.
