MUSIC REPRESENTATION AND TRANSFORMATION IN SOFT...

This book takes the reader on a journey through music concepts in an organized approach that
develops music essentials from the concepts of tone  pitch  and time  through notes  intervals
chords  and scores while at the same time interpreting these elements as software artifacts.
Close attention is paid to the organization of and relationships amongst these concepts and
their representation as Python classes and objects  to learn about music from a software design
viewpoint. The first part of the book focuses on software representation of the main elements
found in music theory. Its objective is to provide direction to students on how to build a
music software model from basic concepts and grow towards more complex concepts. Chapter by
chapter  music concepts are introduced  and each is broken apart into related data properties
and methods with the goal that by the end of this section  the reader will have developed a
relatively complete library of music elements in software. The second part takes on the task of
applying that foundation to the subject of music transformations. The focus is on localized
transformations  that is  transformations isolated to a few measures. After a general
introduction  the discussion includes topics of pitch assignment  key change  melodic inversion
melodic shaping  harmonic transcription  retrograde  melodic search and dilation. This textbook
is designed as a principal or supplemental source for computer science  software engineering 
and programming courses. It can also be used as a main textbook for advanced computer music
courses or electronic music courses. Computer music software professionals interested in
learning how to model the complexities of music theory artifacts  or music students who want to
learn advanced programming techniques in their domain will also find the book helpful.
