Abstract:
|
The MIR research on jingju (also known as Beijing or
Peking opera) music has taken audio as the main source
of information. Music scores are an important resource for
the musicological research of this tradition, but no machine
readable ones have been available for computational analysis.
In order to explore the potential of symbolic score data
for jingju music research, we have expanded the Comp-
Music Jingju Music Corpus, which contains mostly audio,
with a collection of 92 machine readable scores, for a total
of 897 melodic lines. Since our purpose is the study of
jingju singing in terms of its musical system elements, we
have selected the arias used as examples in reference jingju
music textbooks. The collection is accompanied by scores
metadata, curated annotations per score and melodic line,
and a set of software tools for extracting statistical information
from it. All the gathered data and developed software
are available for research purposes. In this paper we
first discuss the culture specific concepts that are needed
for understanding the contents of the collection, followed
by a detailed description of it. We then present a series of
computational analyses performed on the scores and discuss
some musicological findings. |
