Abstract
Along with the course of the project, both Isaac and Jackson analyzed traditional Quebecois choral music and created tone collections of the pieces. This research examined pieces by identifying for each the name, time signature/meter, key signature(s), and tonic note. Then, by creating physical drawn pitch maps that were transferred into digital copies in notation software such as Sibelius and Finale, the research concluded a comparison of all the pitches in each choral piece. By contrasting these pitch maps, trends within the pieces were identified.
