1、2 Composer germson I’ll Be Bach Composer David Cope is the inventor of a computerprogram that writes original works of classical music. It took Cope 30 years todevelop the software. Now most people can’t tell the difference between musicby the fam

2、ous German composer J. S. Bach (1685-1750) and the Bach-likecompositions from Cope’s computer. It all started in 1980 in the United States, whenCope was trying to write an opera. He was having trouble thinking of newmelodies, so he wrote a computer program to create the melodies. At first thismusic

3、 was not easy to listen to. What did Cope do? He began to rethink howhuman beings compose music. He realized that composers，brains work like big databases.First, they take in all the music that they have ever heard. Then they take outthe music that they dislike. Finally, they make new music from wha

4、t is left.According to Cope, only the great composers are able to create the databaseaccurately, remember it, and form new musical patterns from it. Cope built a huge database of existing music. He beganwith hundreds of works by Bach. The software analyzed the data：it broke it down into smallerpiec

5、es and looked for patterns. It then combined the pieces into new patterns.Before long, the program could compose short Bach-like works. They weren’t good,but it was a start. Cope knew he had more work to do-he had a wholeopera to write. He continued to improve the software. Soon it could analyzemor

6、e complex music. He also added many other composers, including his own work,to the database. A few years later，Cope’s computer program, called “Emmy”，was ready to help him with his opera. The process required a lot ofcollaboration between the composer and Emmy. Cope listened to the computer’smusica

7、l ideas and used the ones that he liked. With Emmy, the opera took onlytwo weeks to finish. It was called Cradle Falling, and it was a great success!Cope received some of the best reviews of his career, but no one knew exactlyhow he had composed the work. Since that first opera, Emmy has written th

8、ousandsof compositions. Cope still gives Emmy feedback on what he likes and doesn’tlike of her music, but she is doing most of the hard work of composing thesedays! 詞匯： original/??r?d??n?l / adj．有獨創(chuàng)性的 collaboration/ k??læb??re???n / n．合作 review/r?vju:/ n．評論 feedback/fi:dbæk / n．反饋

9、注釋 J.S. Bach約翰?塞巴斯蒂安?巴赫（德語：Johann Sebastian Bach，1685年3月31日一1750年7月28日），巴洛克時期的德國作曲家，杰出的管風(fēng)琴、小提琴、大鍵琴演奏家，同作曲家亨德爾和泰勒曼齊名。巴赫被普遍認為是音樂史上最重要的作曲家之一，并被尊稱為“西方‘現(xiàn)代音樂’之父”，也是西方文化史上最重要的人物之一。 練習(xí)： 1．The music composed by David cope is about ______. A　Classical music B　pop music C　drama D　country music 2．By d

10、eveloping a computer software，David cope aimed ______. A　to be like Bach B　to study Bach C　to write an opera D　to create a musical database 3．What did cope realize about a great composer’s brain? A　It forms new musical patterns allby itself B　It writes a computer program C　It can recognize a

11、ny music patterns D　It creates an accurate database 4．Who is Emmy? A　a database B　a computer software C　a composer who helped David D　an opera 5．We can infer from the passage that ______. A　David Cope is a computerprogrammer. B　David Cope loves music. C　Bach’s music helped him a lot. D　

12、Emmy did much more work than a composer. 答案與題解： 1．A　第一段的第一句：David Cope發(fā)明了一個可以編寫出古典音樂的電腦軟件。 2．C　從第二段的第一句可以看出，David編寫電腦軟件的目的是寫歌劇。A、B和D都屬于創(chuàng)作歌劇的一部分。 3．D　第二段的后半部分講的是偉大的歌劇作者與一般的歌劇作者的不同之處是通過對數(shù)據(jù)進行準(zhǔn)確的構(gòu)建、記憶而后創(chuàng)作出新的音樂形式。 4．B　從第五段第一句可知Emmy是一計算機軟件。 5．D　從本文第一句可知David是一個作曲家，不是計算機程序員，所以排除A;B、C內(nèi)容沒有提及；從本文的第五段和第六

13、段可知，Emmy大大提高了David的創(chuàng)作速度，最后一句，大部分困難的工作都由Emmy來做，所以作曲家只干一小部分工作。 中文： 我也能成為巴赫 作曲家大衛(wèi)?科普發(fā)明了一個電腦軟件，它能編寫出古典音樂的原創(chuàng)作品?？破栈?30年才 完成這個軟件，現(xiàn)在，科普的電腦寫出的作品與德國著名作曲家J.S.巴赫寫的作品很相似，很少 有人能分辨出其中不同。 這一切始于1980年的美國，那時科普正在寫一部戲劇，但是他無法創(chuàng)作出新的旋律.于楚他 編寫了一個電腦軟件來幫他編曲。最開始的時候，軟件寫出的樂曲并不動聽?？破帐窃趺醋龅哪?？ 他幵始重新考慮人們作曲的方式。他認識到作曲家的大腦就像一個大數(shù)據(jù)庫，他們
