A Study of Intonation in Three-Part Singing using the Automatic Music Performance Analysis and Comparison Toolkit (AMPACT)
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces the Automatic Music Performance Analysis and Comparison Toolkit (AMPACT), is a MATLAB toolkit for accurately aligning monophonic audio to MIDI scores as well as extracting and analyzing timing-, pitch-, and dynamics-related performance data from the aligned recordings. This paper also presents the results of an analysis performed with AMPACT on an experiment studying intonation in three-part singing. The experiment examines the interval size and drift in four ensembles’ performances of a short exercise by Benedetti, which was designed to highlight the conflict between Just Intonation tuning and pitch drift.

Analysis of Interactive Intonation in Unaccompanied SATB Ensembles
Unaccompanied ensemble singing is common in many musical cultures, yet it requires great skill for singers to listen to each other and adjust their pitch to stay in tune. The aim of this research is to investigate interaction in four-part (SATB) singing from the point of view of pitch accuracy (intonation). In particular we compare intonation accuracy of individual singers and collaborative ens...
متن کاملChorus Digitalis: Experiments in Chironomic Choir Singing
This paper reports on experiments in real-time gestural control of voice synthesis. The ability of hand writing gestures for controlling singing intonation (chironomic singing synthesis) is studied. In a first part, the singing synthesizer and controller are described. The system is developed in an environment for multi-users music synthesis, allowing for synthetic choir singing. In a second pa...
متن کاملIdentification of potential Music Information Retrieval technologies for computer-aided jingju singing training
Music Information Retrieval (MIR) technologies have been proven useful in assisting western classical singing training. Jingju (also known as Beijing or Peking opera) singing is different from western singing in terms of most of the perceptual dimensions, and the trainees are taught by using mouth/heart method. In this paper, we first present the training method used in the professional jingju ...
متن کاملTowards Automatic Identification Of Singing Language In Popular Music Recordings
The automatic analysis of singing from music is an important and challenging issue within the research target of content-based retrieval of music information. As part of this research target, this study presents a first attempt to automatically identify the language sung in a music recording. It is assumed that each language has its own set of constraints that specify which of the basic linguis...
متن کاملTowards Computer-Assisted Flamenco Transcription: An Experimental Comparison of Automatic Transcription Algorithms as Applied to A Cappella Singing
This paper deals with automatic transcription of flamenco music recordings, more specifically a cappella singing. We first study the specificities of flamenco singing and propose a transcription system based on fundamental frequency and energy estimation, which incorporates an iterative strategy for note segmentation and labelling. The proposed approach is evaluated on a music collection of 72 ...
