Abstract
Understood dichotomously, music is subjectively aesthetic on the one hand, and
objectively scientific on the other. The code demonstrates music’s objectivity via tonal theory’s
systematic procedures. Tonal grammar adopts circles, modulo functions, formulaic tables, and
algorithms as needed for use in composition and analysis. The grammar and its co-requisite
methodology thus translates well to object-oriented programming.
At the same time, however, this program demonstrates the limits reached when thinking
about music exclusively as an objective discipline. Basic computer programs do not have the
ability to intuit, synthesize, or extrapolate. The somewhat ineffable nature of human
understanding fills in the gaps in the rigid structures necessitated by tonal grammar’s elements.........
---
It is therefore clear that to have a complete theory of music, one needs to understand it as
a study of an objective science as well as an inquiry into the multivariable and conditional
components of subjective intuition. (from Conclusion)
