| Abstract(in English) | This paper proposes the use of Hidden Markov Model(HMM) for automatic music harmonization of given molodies and describes experimental results. The process of producing a melody is modeled by a hidden Markov model consisting of harmony transitions and emission of musical notes from harmonies. The underlying harmony is estimated as an inverse problem solved by a maximum like-lihood estimation from the given melody. Harmony transition models, melody emission models, N-best candidate generation, tonality estimation and detection are also discussed. Experimental studies were made based on statistical analysis of harmony transitions in tunes and songs as well as in more than 300 chorales by J. S. Bach. |
