Abstract
An automatic composer comprises an input device which inputs part of a musical piece and information on the progression of music such as a chord progression, an analyzer which extracts parameters characterizing the part of the musical piece, and a melody generator which develops the complete musical piece by using the characteristic parameters and the chord progression. As a result, the characteristics of the part of the musical piece may be present, to a desired extent, throughout the completed musical piece, so that a satisfactory balance is achieved between the consistency and variety of the music.
