Music Theory/Data Structures
Can computers replace composers? That question fueled an unlikely collaboration between students in two very different Priory classes: Music Theory and Data Structures. The task for the music students: to identify the essentials of Classical Era melodies (think Mozart and Haydn), input hundreds of those melodies into Noteflight software, and give the resulting MIDI files to their peers in Computer Science. The CS students then created a program to mine that data for musical patterns, eventually producing their own computer-generated
“Classical Era” melody. Finally, volunteer audiences listened to that melody and two others— one written by the music students, and one by an actual Classical composer—and tried to guess which was which. It was all good news: computers won’t be putting composers out
of business any time soon, and Priory students collaborated and communicated successfully across vastly different disciplines and even different “languages,” a true real-world challenge.
