In this paper, the mathematical theory of languages is used to investigate and develop computer systems for music analysis, composition, and performance. Four prominent research projects in the field are critically reviewed. An original grammar-type for the computer representation of music is introduced, and a computer system for music composition and performance based on that grammar is described. A user's manual for the system is provided as an appendix.
