Analyses of chosen works from Gentle Giant, Liquid Tension Experiment, Kutiman, and of popular adaptations of Vivaldi´s “Four Seasons” help illuminate characteristics of different sub-categories of “crossing over”. The examination of crossing over within popular music focuses on jazz fusion, progressive rock, classical-crossover and mashup. How do social meanings and general associations attached to certain musical genres come into play when classical music meets disco, hip-hop meets the symphony or heavy metal meets the opera? How do artistic or commercial concepts and communication strategies affect composers' techniques of mixing genres? This study observes musical exchange between western art music and various forms of popular music with regard to intra- and extra-musical aspects. These three different contexts of performance allow the understanding of the variability and the rules governing the different ways tezeta is performed. in inversions of other scales (gelbatch technique) used when a musician does not have the opportunity to switch to the ‘normal’ tezeta scale. in performances of exercises preparing the musician to perform the song 3. in performances of the song Tezeta by 5 different musicians 2. This paper investigates the variability of the pentatonic anhemitonic scale tezeta, by analyzing the intervals constituting this scale in different contexts: 1. In the secular repertoire of the Amhara of Ethiopia, the intervals sizes present certain variability. Especially in a context of development of computer-assisted tools for the study of scales, it is important to take this variability into consideration, as it is significant regarding the way pitches are organized and conceptualized within a musical system. Results indicate that the proposed harmony-based rules combined with the timbral descriptor-based genre classification system lead to improved genre classification rates.Īmong the numerous traits characterizing non-Western musical performances, the variability of scales has intrigued researchers. Machine learning classifiers were tested using 5 × 5-fold cross-validation and feature selection. The fusion of the harmony-based classifier with the extracted feature vectors is tested on three-genre subsets of the GTZAN and ISMIR04 datasets, which contain 300 and 448 recordings, respectively.

The audio descriptor-based genre classifier contains 206 features, covering spectral, temporal, energy, and pitch characteristics of the audio signal. This random forest has been automatically induced, using the first-order logic induction algorithm TILDE, from a dataset, in which for each chord the degree and chord category are identified, and covering classical, jazz and pop genre classes. A state-of-the-art statistical genre classifier based on timbral features is extended using a first-order random forest containing for each genre rules derived from harmony or chord sequences.


We present a new genre classification framework using both low-level signal-based features and high-level harmony features.
