Abstract:

Style-specific harmonization aims at generating chords that match a given melody and specific style. Existing methods for generating chords have some shortcomings. Most of them are trained on a large training set of a specific genre such as pop or jazz. To accommodate different styles, they need to train on different style-specific training sets, increasing the total training time. Moreover, existing methods cannot cater to cadence and pitch fluctuation. Many recent deep neural networks (DNNs) for harmonization are tested only on 8-bar phrases instead of complete music pieces. Therefore, they cannot handle global music structure. This talk presents a new style-specific harmonization method called FlexChord that overcomes the shortcomings of existing methods. FlexChord achieves style specificity by producing chords that match the style of selected reference music. It can perform chord generation with as little as a single music piece, and it does not require a large reference set. It applies direct optimization during chord generation that does not require separate training. Thus, it can easily produce chords of a specific style. In addition, FlexChord can handle cadence, pitch fluctuation and the global structure of full-length melodies. Test results show that FlexChord's harmonization is better than those of comparable DNNs and is close to that of human harmonization.
