Beschreibung
The book opens with a short introduction to Indian music, in particular classical Hindustani music, followed by a chapter on the role of statistics in computational musicology. The authors then show how to analyze musical structure using Rubato, the music software package for statistical analysis, in particular addressing modeling, melodic similarity and lengths, and entropy analysis; they then show how to analyze musical performance. Finally, they explain how the concept of seminatural composition can help a music composer to obtain the opening line of a raga-based song using Monte Carlo simulation.
The book will be of interest to musicians and musicologists, particularly those engaged with Indian music.

“This book makes a huge contribution in providing an accessible account published by a mainstream and highly reputed publisher of the complex mathematical foundation of a historical and established musical tradition that has not been considered by many Western musicologists.” (Sara Kalvala, Computing Reviews, February, 2016)
