This book is a survey and analysis of how deep learning can be used to generate musical content. The authors offer a comprehensive presentation of the foundations of deep learning techniques for music generation. They also develop a conceptual framework used to classify and analyze various types of architecture, encoding models, generation strategies, and ways to control the generation. The five dimensions of this framework are: objective (the kind of musical content to be generated, e.g., melody, accompaniment); representation (the musical elements to be considered and how to encode them, e.g., chord, silence, piano roll, one-hot encoding); architecture (the structure organizing neurons, their connexions, and the flow of their activations, e.g., feedforward, recurrent, variational autoencoder); challenge (the desired properties and issues, e.g., variability, incrementality, adaptability); and strategy (the way to model and control the process of generation, e.g., single-step feedforward, iterative feedforward, decoder feedforward, sampling). To illustrate the possible design decisions and to allow comparison and correlation analysis they analyze and classify more than 40 systems, and they discuss important open challenges such as interactivity, originality, and structure. The authors have extensive knowledge and experience in all related research, technical, performance, and business aspects. The book is suitable for students, practitioners, and researchers in the artificial intelligence, machine learning, and music creation domains. The reader does not require any prior knowledge about artificial neural networks, deep learning, or computer music. The text is fully supported with a comprehensive table of acronyms, bibliography, glossary, and index, and supplementary material is available from the authors' website.
Come From Away: Welcome to the Rock - a fully illustrated companion volume to the hit Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, featuring the book and lyrics for the first time in print, backstage stories and the real history behind the show's events, character design sketches, and songs that ended up on the cutting room floor. The Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Come From Away tells the remarkable true story of a small town that welcomed the world. On September 11, 2001, 38 planes and 6,579 passengers were forced to land in the provincial town of Gander, Newfoundland. The local residents opened their arms to the displaced visitors, offering food, shelter, and friendship. In the days that followed, cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships. Come From Away: Welcome to the Rock is the ultimate companion piece to Irene Sankoff and David Hein's smash-hit musical based on that extraordinary experience. Featuring the complete book and lyrics for the first time in print, a foreword by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and exclusive photos of the company and physical production, this essential companion also includes original interviews with passengers, Gander residents, and the actors who portray them. The narrative by theater historian Laurence Maslon details the events of that memorable and challenging week and also traces the musical's development from the ten-year reunion of residents and airline passengers in Gander, where the idea for the musical was born, to the global phenomenon it is today. Come From Away: Welcome to the Rock gives an unprecedented look behind the curtain and demonstrates why the story has touched so many so deeply: Because we come from everywhere, we all come from away.

Baptist Hymnody in America is a collection of primary documents on congregational singing among Baptists in the United States from the eighteenth through the early twenty-first centuries. These documents—many of which are not readily available and are gathered here for the first time—record the struggles and triumphs of Baptists as they have sought to provide acceptable sung forms of worship, suggest how certain types of song became identified particularly as "Baptist," demonstrate the varying philosophies of hymnody expressed among Baptists for the past four hundred years, and reveal the historic diversity of Baptist worship practices.The introduction describes the purpose, format, and organization of the collection. Subsequent discussions take up the British Baptist background in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries; the beginnings of Baptist hymnody in America; the earliest Baptist hymnals; local and regional collections in the early nineteenth century; sectional, national, and denominational collections in the mid-nineteenth century; the Sunday school song and revival hymnody; hymnals of the late nineteenth century; hymnals of denominational identity; and new currents in Baptist congregational song. Each chapter is prefaced by a general introduction, and each document or group of documents is provided with a commentary that contains biographical information on the author, the context and a summary of the writing, and a description of the source. The documents included are not only of intrinsic interest but also provide a foundation for engaging current and future issues regarding congregational song within Baptist life.
