Abstract
Song is a composition of music and lyrics that can express both feeling and story. Composing a song is not a trivial task for a novice because it needs a knowledge of music theory and experience in a musical instrument. Nowadays computers have been proven to be powerful tools for several fields including the music field. A music generator is a common tool for helping a novice to create a song. The thesis presents two crucial elements for a robust music generator, a melody composer and a statistical music accompaniment generator. The melody composer aims to compose a pleasing melody for Thai and Japanese lyrics based on a lyric-note correlation. The statistical music accompaniment generator is designed based on a probabilistic model to generate suitable accompaniment with different rhyth...[ Read more ]
Song is a composition of music and lyrics that can express both feeling and story. Composing a song is not a trivial task for a novice because it needs a knowledge of music theory and experience in a musical instrument. Nowadays computers have been proven to be powerful tools for several fields including the music field. A music generator is a common tool for helping a novice to create a song. The thesis presents two crucial elements for a robust music generator, a melody composer and a statistical music accompaniment generator. The melody composer aims to compose a pleasing melody for Thai and Japanese lyrics based on a lyric-note correlation. The statistical music accompaniment generator is designed based on a probabilistic model to generate suitable accompaniment with different rhythmic patterns for a given melody. Generally, there is no single correct melody for lyrics and there is no single correct accompaniment for a particular melody. Therefore, two studies are conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of both systems in terms of subjective quality.
