    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.

  • Harmonization Heuristic: Third Approximation
    Harmonization Heuristic: third approximation 6 o 6 6 Here we add the vi, ii, and I4 chords (in minor keys: VI, ii , and i4 ) plus vii° (the leading-tone triad) as a dominant alternative. Together with I, IV, and V, these comprise the vast majority of chords encountered in diatonic harmony as practiced by composers from about 1700-1800. The following map shows the allowable chord progressions in major in classical style: to vi or IV6 to I6 I – vi – IV – ii – vii°6 – V SD Any chord can move rightward• Any along major this ormap minor by anytriad amount: can be I can move to vi, IV, ii, vii°6, or V; vi can move to IV, ii, vii°6, or precededV.

Phrases • Root-position V can be preceded by I @ typically begin and end with a root position I. The vii°6 and V chords are dominant category (D) chords: they sound tense and expectant, and want to move to tonic chords. The IV and ii chords are subdominant (or “predominant”) category (S) chords; they tend to lead toward dominant chords. IV may also return to the tonic. Note that iii is not used (this is not true, however, in some later styles like 20th-C pop music). The progressions represented by the large-dash line, V®vi and V®IV6, are the deceptive progressions. IV®I is the plagal progression. Note that any chord may progress to the tonic.
