counterpoint-generator-lstm

Generate counter point melody given cantus firmus using LSTM model. This project is based on [1] by Valerio Velardo.

Model

LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) [2] model is trained on sequences of cantus firmus and counter point melodies.

Data

MusicXML Dataset for training the LSTM model is from http://www.mscorelib.com. Sample of about 100 Bach's pieces are included in this project.

Input-Output Example

Input: Sub-section of "Autumn Leaves" by Joseph Kosma ("cantus.mxl"):

Output: The input melody with counter point in Bach's style ("melody.mid")
