Abstract(in English) Considering automated composition as a auxiliary measure of human composition, it will be necessary that the composing system gives a variety of tune. Based on the idea as above, we tried to compose music by fitting random sequence into general musical theory using a genetic algorithm(GA). For that, we apply the GA to the process, which decide both chord progression and melody. In addition, when we did a human subjective experiment with the generated music, we verified that the fitness function used in our method reflected human evaluation properly.
