Abstract:
This paper presents a set of harmonic function annotations for Isophonics' The Beatles datasets. Harmonic function annotations characterize chord labels as stable (tonic) or unstable (predominant, dominant). They operate at the level of musical phrases and thus serve as a link between chord labels and higher-level formal structures.
