Johann Sebastian Bach – The Chorales

This is a README file for a data repository originating from the DCML corpus initiative and serves as welcome page for both the GitHub repo https://github.com/DCMLab/bach_chorales and the corresponding documentation page https://dcmlab.github.io/bach_chorales For information on how to obtain and use the dataset, please refer to this documentation page.   Johann Sebastian Bach – The Chorales The original Capella files (not included here) were engraved and compiled by Ulrich Kaiser and published as part of the CD-ROM coming with his book Kaiser, U. (2002). Der Vierstimmige Satz. Kantionalsatz und Choralsatz. Bärenreiter, Kassel. They have been converted to MuseScore 3.6.2 format and parsed using the ms3 Python library. Unfortunately, the conversion has resulted in many incorrect accidentals and the MuseScore files would require full correction. One way to do so would be by comparing pitch class vectors against those from one of the other available chorale datasets.   Version history See the GitHub releases.   License CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0-1.0).   Overview file_name measures labels 001 Aus meines Herzens Grunde 23 0 002 Ich danke dir, lieber Herre 15 0 003 Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein 12 0 004 Es ist das Heil uns kommen her 12 0 005 An Wasserflüssen Babylon 19 0 006 Nun lob, mein Seel, den Herren 39 0 007 Christus, der ist mein Leben 9 0 008 Freuet euch, ihr Christen alle 20 0 009 Ermuntre dich, mein schwacher Geist 14 0 010 Aus tiefer Not schrei ich zu dir 13 0 011 Jesu, nun sei gepreiset 33 0 012 Puer natus in Bethlehem 17 0 013 Allein zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ 18
