The aim of this study is to enhance the enjoyment of music for deaf and hard of hearing, and normal hearing people through the visual representation of music. To depict musical rhythm effectively and clearly, we focus on Chironomie, a conducting technique used in Gregorian chant. In general, Chironomie is represented by a curve that corresponds to the musical score, and this curve is determined by whether a short segment of the score represents one of two classes: Arsis or Thesis. In pursuit of our goal, our efforts encompass two essential facets: adapting Chironomie to Western tonal music to express intuitively perceivable musical features such as tension and relaxation, and evaluating whether Chironomie can effectively convey music visually. We present an automated method for estimating Arsis and Thesis within compound beats to draw Chironomie from both score and performance data.

摘要

The aim of this study is to enhance the enjoyment of music for deaf and hard of hearing, and normal hearing people through the visual representation of music. To depict musical rhythm effectively and clearly, we focus on Chironomie, a conducting technique used in Gregorian chant. In general, Chironomie is represented by a curve that corresponds to the musical score, and this curve is determined by whether a short segment of the score represents one of two classes: Arsis or Thesis. In pursuit of our goal, our efforts encompass two essential facets: adapting Chironomie to Western tonal music to express intuitively perceivable musical features such as tension and relaxation, and evaluating whether Chironomie can effectively convey music visually. We present an automated method for estimating Arsis and Thesis within compound beats to draw Chironomie from both score and performance data.
