Can Bach’s chorales serve as a dataset for computational music theory?
Explore how the works of J.S. Bach can be transformed into a digital corpus. This lecture demonstrates the practical application of using Bach's chorales within the music21 toolkit for computational analysis.
In this session of MIT's Computational Music Theory and Analysis course, instructor Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert examines the utility of Bach's chorales as a structured corpus. The video provides a technical walkthrough of how these musical compositions can be integrated into music2operable frameworks using the music21 library, allowing for large-scale algorithmic study and analysis.
