1 What is musical information? Music 253/CS 275A Topic 1A Stanford University

2 CS 275A/Mus 2532013 Eleanor Selfridge-Field2 1. What is the basic essence of music? Sound Text Act Mental image

3 CS 275A/Mus 2532013 Eleanor Selfridge-Field3 What is music representation ? Sound: parameterization of sound qualities Text: symbolic representation of scores Act: symbolic representation of gestures Mental image: rules, principles, perceptions

4 2. Domains of information CS 275A/Mus 2532013 Eleanor Selfridge-Field4 “Logical work” Sound Notation

5 2. Domains of musical information CS 275A/Mus 2532013 Eleanor Selfridge-Field5 “Logical work” Sound Notation No ASCII code for music Some parametric ideas common to all domains Logical = perceptual??

6 CS 275A/Mus 2532013 Eleanor Selfridge-Field6 Musical information confounds Virtual symbolic content: Pure graphics Pure sound Sign vs. sound (semiotics) rsp d omain-specific features Sound Notation Logical work

7 CS 275A/Mus 2532013 Eleanor Selfridge-Field7 3. Software used in the course Sound-based: MIDI* Text-based: Guido*, Finale, SCORE, Sibelius, abcplus Logical/analysis-friendly: Humdrum* Data and data interchange: MuseData, MusicXML*, MEI*

8 CS 275A/Mus 2532013 Eleanor Selfridge-Field8 4. Music codes before machine computation: The Guidonian hand (mnemonics) Mnemonic devices (c. 1000 AD) Giordano Bruno (1582) and the art of memory

9 CS 275A/Mus 2532013 Eleanor Selfridge-Field9 5. Confusing terminology Absolute vs. relative machine-oriented MIDI key nos. user-oriented Intervallic information Tangible vs. cognitive (selective) Selection by domain Selection by reduction

10 CS 275A/Mus 2532013 Eleanor Selfridge-Field10 6. Selective understandings.... Raw vs. interpreted data When interpreted? On input In processing Common vs. application- specific data Data attributes Application attributes

11 CS 275A/Mus 2532013 Eleanor Selfridge-Field11 7. Frontiers of musical information Data resource development Data management and identification Data interchange Data query and analysis Data visualization* Data HardwareSoftware

12 CS 275A/Mus 2532013 Eleanor Selfridge-Field12 App A. Piano rolls as music representations J. S. Bach: Chorale No. 1 (pitch-class mapping) Chopin: Prelude (voice-part mapping)

13 CS 275A/Mus 2532013 Eleanor Selfridge-Field13 App A. The Music Animation Machine

14 CS 275A/Mus 2532013 Eleanor Selfridge-Field14 App B. Harmonic representation schemes J. S. Bach: Prelude in D Major J. S. Bach: Fugue in D Minor Keyscapes (old-style) by Craig Sapp
