Putting forward an extensive new argument for a humanities-based
approach to big-data analysis, The Music in the Data shows how
large datasets of music, or music corpora, can be productively
integrated with the qualitative questions at the heart of music
research. The author argues that as well as providing objective
evidence, music corpora can themselves be treated as texts to be
subjectively read and creatively interpreted, allowing new levels
of understanding and insight into music traditions. Each chapter in
this book asks how we define a core music-theory topic, such as
style, harmony, meter, function, and musical key, and then
approaches the topic through considering trends within large
musical datasets, applying a combination of quantitative analysis
and qualitative interpretation. Throughout, several basic
techniques of data analysis are introduced and explained, with
supporting materials available online. Connecting the empirical
information from corpus analysis with theories of musical and
textual meaning, and showing how each approach can enrich the
other, this book provides a vital perspective for scholars and
students in music theory, musicology, and all areas of music
research.
