- Assertion
- Chorale harmonisation, a traditional exercise in Western classical training, asks for three further lines to accompany a given melody. Allan and Williams treated it as a machine learning problem, training hidden Markov models on Bach's chorale harmonisations so that the system learns from examples and can compose new harmonisations.
- Quote
We describe how we used a data set of chorale harmonisations composed by Johann Sebastian Bach to train Hidden Markov Models. Using a probabilistic framework allows us to create a harmonisation system which learns from examples, and which can compose new harmonisations. [...] Chorale harmonisation is a traditional part of the theoretical education of Western classical musicians. Given a melody, the task is to create three further lines of music which will sound pleasant when played simultaneously with the original melody.
