Explore advanced music representation techniques and hierarchical structures in computational music theory through this MIT lecture from the Computational Music Theory and Analysis course. Delve into scholarly readings by Selfridge-Field and Cook while participating in a live coding session that demonstrates how to unlock additional modules in music21, a powerful Python toolkit for computer-aided musicology. Learn to analyze musical hierarchies and understand different approaches to representing musical information digitally, building upon foundational concepts in computational music analysis. Gain practical experience working with music21's extended functionality while examining theoretical frameworks for understanding musical structure at multiple levels of organization.
