Transforming Musicoloy will explore how software tools being developed by the music information retrieval (MIR) community may be applied in a variety of areas of musical study, specifically: enhancing the use of digitally encoded sources in studying 16th-century lute and vocal music and using such sources to develop new musical pattern matching techniques to enhance existing MIR tools; augmenting traditional study of Richard Wagner's leitmotif technique through audio pattern matching and supporting psychological testing; exploring how musical communities on the Web engage with their music by employing network analysis techniques to investigate musical discussion online.
