# Computational Music Theory and Analysis

This is an optional informative reading for people who think they might want to keep working with Roman numerals and also covers how chords are being examined outside of a classical music context:

Here are three corpora and representations for Roman numerals, in rough chronological order from oldest to newest:

- Dmitri Tymoczko, Mark Gotham, Michael Scott Cuthbert, and Christopher Ariza “The RomanText Format: A Flexible and Standard Method for Representing Roman Numeral Analyses,” Proceedings of the International Society for Music Information Retrieval (ISMIR) 20, (2019).
  - Files: mostly included in the music21 corpus
- Trevor de Clercq and David Temperley, “A Corpus Analysis of Rock Harmony,” Popular Music 30.1 (2011), pp. 47–70.
  - Files: http://rockcorpus.midside.com/
- Markus Neuwirth, Daniel Harasim, Fabian C. Moss, Martin Rohrmeier, “The Annotated Beethoven Corpus (ABC): A Dataset of Harmonic Analyses of All Beethoven String Quartets,” Frontiers in Digital Humanities, 3 July 2018.
