Abstract: We explore the application of statistical techniques, borrowed from natural lanuage processing, to music. A probabilistic method is used to capture and generalise from the local harmonic movement of a corpus of seventeenth-century dance music. The probabilistic grammars so generated are then used for experiments in generation (composition). The corpus is preprocessed in a novel way, automatically converting the harmonies into a normal form to capture the underlying harmonic similarities between ... (Update)
