Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία παρουσιάζεται η δημιουργία ενός προγράμματος σε γλώσσα προγραμματισμού C++ το οποίο εναρμονίζει αυτόματα ένα μουσικό κομ- μάτι. To πρόγραμμα αυτό παίρνει στην είσοδό του μία μελωδία απλών φθογγόσημων και δίνει στην έξοδό του την ίδια μελωδία αλλά με τις συγχορδίες των φθογγόσημων. Η επιλογή των κατάλληλων συγχορδιών γίνεται με τη χρήση προεπιλεγμένων κανόνων της αρμονίας, για τους οποίους υλοποιείται πηγαίος κώδικας. Το τελικό πρόγραμμα είναι ένας συνδυασμός κατασκευασμένων προγραμματιστικά κανόνων, συγχορδιών, κλιμάκων με έξοδο την αρχική μελωδία προσαρμοσμένη σε συγχορδίες και όχι φθογγόσημα. Το πρόγραμμα αυτόματης εναρμόνισης μελωδίας, αποτυπώνει τις γνώσεις της αρμονίας σε ένα αλγοριθμικό πρόγραμμα και αναμένεται να δώσει ακριβή και σωστά αποτελέσματα στην έξοδο για την εναρμόνιση οποιασδήποτε μελωδίας και κλίμακας. / This diploma dissertation is presenting the creation of a program in C++ programming language which harmonizes automatically a piece of music. This program takes in its input a melody consisted of simple pitches and gives as an output the same melody but with 3 pitches for each entering pitch. The selection of the suitable group of the 3 pitches is being achieved with the use of preselected rules of harmony for which spontaneous code is realized. The final program is a combination of programmatically manufactured rules, groups of 3 pitches and scales with the initial melody adapted in groups of 3 pitches ,and not simple pitches, as output. The automatic harmonization program impresses the harmony’s knowledge in an algorithmic program and it is expected to give precise and correct results in the exit for the harmonization of any melody and in any scale the musical piece is written.

Title: Cover Song Identification using Music Harmony Features, Model and Complexity Analysis Author: Ladislav Maršík Department: Department of Software Engineering Supervisor: Prof. RNDr. Jaroslav Pokorný, CSc., Department of Software Engineering Abstract: Analysis of digital music and its retrieval based on the audio fe- atures is one of the popular topics within the music information retrieval (MIR) field. Every musical piece has its characteristic harmony structure, but harmony analysis is seldom used for retrieval. Retrieval systems that do not focus on similarities in harmony progressions may consider two versions of the same song different, even though they differ only in instrumentation or a singing voice. This thesis takes various paths in exploring, how music harmony can be used in MIR, and in particular, the cover song identification (CSI) task. We first create a music harmony model based on the knowledge of music theory. We define novel concepts: a harmonic complexity of a mu- sical piece, as well as the chord and chroma distance features. We show how these concepts can be used for retrieval, complexity analysis, and how they compare with the state-of-the-art of music harmony modeling. An extensive comparison of harmony features is then performed, using both the novel fe- atures and the...
