Abstract

As a matter of fact, music composing based on software is widely analysed. This study introduces the development and implementation of the first species counterpoint music generator based on Nyquist programming. Reviewing early research on counterpoint music generators, including the pioneering work of Hiller and Isaacson, and the use of Variable Neighbourhood Search(VNS) algorithms to optimize generators in recent years, the author aims to create a music generator that can generate music according to the first species counterpoint rules, and in experiment, author introduces four rules that must be met to generate music, such as using only concertos and intervals and avoiding large leaps. By modifying the range and rules, the generator can quickly generate the music conforming to the counterpoint method, but the rules are too strict and the adjustment of the range is complicated. The summary points out that with the reduction of programming algorithms, more and more music creators can use computers to generate specific styles of music, Nyquist has great potential, especially in the composition of classical music.
