在标准的西方音调和节奏系统的限制下，所有可能的音乐作品的空间是无限广阔的。我们来看看这个空间的一小部分：巴洛克式的和谐。巴洛克时期的和声规则已经被音乐学者们仔细地制定出来了，如果我们有一个旋律和一个关键的签名，这个搜索空间的大小就变得容易处理了。音乐很容易以数字形式表示，因此是计算机操作的明显候选者。我们研究了一个系统，使用遗传算法，能够生成良好的构造巴洛克风格的和声给定用户定义的旋律。
The space of all possible musical compositions given the constraints of the standard Western tonal and rhythmic system is uncountably vast. We look at a small subsection of this space: Baroque harmony. The rules governing Baroque harmony have been carefully laid out by musical scholars, and the size of this search space becomes tractable if we are given a melody and a key signature to work with. Music is easily represented in numerical form, and is thus an obvious candidate for computer manipulation. We investigate a system using the genetic algorithm that is capable of generating well constructed Baroque-style harmonies given a user-defined melody.>
