Computational Counterpoint Worlds: Mathematical Theory, Software, and Experiments

by Julien Junod, Octavio Alberto Agustin-Aquino, Guerino Mazzola

Book Overview

The mathematical theory of counterpoint was originally aimed at simulating the composition rules described in Johann Joseph Fux's Gradus ad Parnassum. It soon became apparent that the algebraic apparatus used in this model could also serve to define entirely new systems of rules for composition, generated by new choices of consonances and dissonances, which in turn lead to new restrictions governing the succession of intervals. This is the first book...
