Abstract

This is a study about furthering transcription methods via com- putational means. In particular we re-examine Bartók’s methods of transcription to see how his project of transcription might be continued incorporating 21st century technology. We then go on to apply our established analytical and computational tools to examples of Qur’an recitation, in order to test hypotheses about connections between the rules of Qur’an recitation (tajwīd) and the establishment of salient tones within Qur’an recitation per- formance.
