Abstract
There are provided an automatic composition apparatus and a method for automatically composing a piece of music, which enable a user to generate a large number of melodies having different atmospheres using a reduced number of melody generating templates, and a storage medium storing a program for executing the method. A plurality of piece-of-music-independent templates containing various information independent of pieces of music are supplied to generate melodies of the pieces of music. A plurality of piece-of-music-dependent templates containing various information dependent on the pieces of music are supplied to generate melodies of the pieces of music. A piece-of-music-independent template is selected from the supplied plurality of piece-of-music-independent templates. A piece-of-music-dependent template is selected from the supplied plurality of piece-of-music-dependent templates. A melody of a piece of music is generated based on information contained in the selected piece-of-music-independent template and piece-of-music-dependent template.
