Composing Music in the Cloud
summary
Real-time web app composes counterpoint from an input melody using codified Palestrina/Fux rules (about 70 togglable rules) and returns MusicXML/JSON via a REST endpoint /analyze ; hosted at counterpointcomposer.com on Cloud Foundry and implemented with Spring Boot. It supports all five species, mode selection, and chord naming, embeds NoteFlight notation, accepts Web MIDI input, and demonstrates composing variations on “Twinkle Twinkle” live; source code and slides live on GitHub and the demo works in-browser.
