Many Digital Libraries have long offered facilities to provide multimedia content, including music. However there is now an ever more urgent need to specifically support the distinct multiple forms of music, the links between them, and the surrounding scholarly context, as required by the transformed and extended methods being applied to musicology and the wider Digital Humanities.
This paper argues for the need to develop a representation for music performance data that is linked with corresponding score information at the note, beat, and measure levels. Building on the results of a survey of music scholars about their music ...
In the general sense, mode defines the melodic framework and tonic acts as the reference tuning pitch for the melody in the performances of many music cultures. The mode and tonic information of the audio recordings is essential for many music ...
Diverse datasets in the area of Digital Musicology expose complementary information describing works, composers, performers, and wider historical and cultural contexts. Interlinking across such datasets enables new digital methods of scholarly ...
In the realm of digital musicology, standardizations efforts to date have mostly concentrated on the representation of music. Analyses of music are increasingly being generated or communicated by digital means. We demonstrate that the same arguments for ...
Conductor copies of musical scores are typically rich in handwritten annotations. Ongoing archival efforts to digitize orchestral conductors' scores have made scanned copies of hundreds of these annotated scores available in digital formats.
The ...
Content within musical documents not only contains musical notation but can also include text, ornaments, annotations, and editorial data. Before any attempt at automatic recognition of elements in these layers, it is necessary to perform a document ...
J-DISC, a specialized digital library for information about jazz recording sessions that includes rich structured and searchable metadata, has the potential for supporting a wide range of studies on jazz, especially the musicological work of those ...
Musical scores and manuscripts are essential resources for music theory research. Although many libraries are such documents from their collections, these online resources are dispersed and the functionalities for exploiting their content remain ...
Commercial recordings of live opera performance are only sporadically available, mostly due to various legal protections held by opera houses. The resulting onsite, archive-only access for them inhibits analysis of the creative process in "live" ...
Semantic annotations of music collections in digital libraries are important for organization and navigation of the collection. These annotations and their associated metadata are useful in many Music Information Retrieval tasks, and related fields in ...
This paper describes an Application Programming Interface (API) for addressing music notation on the web regardless of the format in which it is stored. This API was created as a method for addressing and extracting specific portions of music notation ...
