`Music21` is an open-source toolkit for Computer-aided musicology. It is licensed under | ||
the BSD license (see below). | ||
|
||
About the Authors | ||
----------------------- | ||
|
||
**Michael Cuthbert**, the creator of `music21`, is co-founder and chief music officer of | ||
`Artusi`_ and former tenured professor of music at M.I.T. where he created the Mellon-Funded | ||
Digital Humanities lab and taught computational music theory and musicology. | ||
He received his A.B. *summa cum laude*, A.M. and Ph.D. degrees from Harvard University. | ||
Cuthbert spent 2004-05 at the American Academy as a Rome Prize winner in Medieval Studies, | ||
2009-10 as Fellow at Harvard's Villa I Tatti Center for Italian Renaissance Studies | ||
in Florence, and 2012-13 at the Radcliffe Institute. | ||
|
||
Prior to joining the M.I.T. faculty, Cuthbert was on the faculties of Smith | ||
and Mount Holyoke Colleges. He has worked extensively on computer-aided musical analysis, | ||
fourteenth-century music, and the music since 1960. | ||
|
||
**Christopher Ariza** is Emeritus Lead Programmer of `music21` and was | ||
Visiting Assistant Professor of Music | ||
at M.I.T. from 2010 to 2013. Prior to joining the `music21` project, | ||
Ariza was Assistant Professor of Music | ||
Technology at Towson University in Baltimore. He has published and | ||
presented numerous articles | ||
and papers on algorithmic composition and generative music systems. | ||
Ariza received his A.B. | ||
degree from Harvard University and his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from New York University. | ||
|
||
**Benjamin Hogue** is Former Lead Programmer of `music21` for 2013. | ||
|
||
**Josiah Wolf Oberholtzer** is Former Lead Programmer of `music21` for 2014-15. | ||

Funding | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
|
||
`music21` was made possible by generous research funding | ||
from the **Seaver Institute** and | ||
the **National Endowment for the Humanities**/Digging into Data research fund. | ||
|
||
In addition, we acknowledge previous support from `M.I.T.`_, the | ||

Colleagues and Institutions | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
|
||
Music21 is unthinkable without our colleagues and friends | ||
working on other music and technology projects, in particular: | ||
|
||
* `David Huron`_, inventor of `Humdrum`_ (the link refers to a changed version of the project), | ||
the inspiration for music21. | ||
|
||
* `Michael Good`_ and Recordare.com for creating MusicXML and many | ||
discussions about the project. | ||
|
||
* The `Center for Computer-Assisted Research in the Humanities`_ at Stanford University, | ||
contributing to the knowledge of music since 1984, and | ||
publishers of *Computing in Musicology*. | ||

Contributors | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
|
||
Additionally, the following individuals have contributed materials or knowledge | ||
to this project. Their contributions and generosity are greatly appreciated. | ||
|
||
* Thomas Bonte, Nicholas Froment, and Werner Schweer of `MuseScore`_ for their | ||
support and for their contributions to the open source music notation projects, | ||
including the Bach Goldberg Variations and the Handel Arias included. | ||
|
||
* `Jacob Walls`_, contributed greatly to the type-safety, speed, and test coverage | ||
of `music21`. If your music21 program "just works" without needing to guess what | ||
any argument goes where, Jacob is to thank. | ||
|
||
* `Donald Byrd`_, researcher on University of Indiana who created | ||
a schema for computer-aided musicology (along with the source of all sorts of | ||
examples of how music notation is difficult). | ||
|
||
* `Jack Campin`_ has kindly given permission to distribute his ABC editions of the Aird | ||
Collection, the Northumbrian Minstrelsy, and the Colonial and Civil War American | ||
Fife Music Collection. | ||

row forms that form the original backbone of serial.py. | ||
|
||
* `McGill University`_ ELVIS project for including the MEI parser. Special thanks to Julie | ||
Cumming, Andrew Hankinson, Ichiro Fujinaga, and especially Christopher Antila for contributing. | ||
|
||

|
||
* `Bryen Travis`_ has kindly gave permission to use his collection of | ||

Future Goals and Potential Applications | ||
--------------------------------------------------- | ||
|
||
There are numerous applications for music21 that we anticipate, yet simply have not had | ||
time to implement. Consider taking on one of these projects, or write us with new and | ||
interesting suggestions. To contact the authors, visit :ref:`about`. | ||
|
||
- Piano-key-visualization | ||
|
||
- Slonimsky scale types | ||
|
||
- Automatic clarinet fingering generation via ClarFinger font (link: www.trecento.com/fonts/) | ||
|
||
- Automatic string fingerings. | ||
|
||
- Indian Raga encoding: including ascending, descending, and typical presentations, | ||
microtonal inflections, common associations, historical context. | ||
|
||
- Multiple-simultaneous-tempi to a single tempo conversion (via tuplets). | ||
|
||
- Palestrina counterpoint generation (via algorithms of Mary Farbood and others.). | ||
|
||
- Beneventan chant similarity indices (thanks to the work of Thomas Forrest Kelly and the | ||
Exultet encodings made available in `**kern` by Elsa De Luca). | ||
|
||
- Identify potential clefs for fragmentary Renaissance and Medieval pieces that are | ||
missing their clefs. (Use their staff-lines and minimizing number of melodic and | ||
harmonic tritones). | ||
