Abstract
In 1971 we presented a programming language, EUTERPE, as a tool for modeling musical structures ([Smoliar, 1971]). We demonstrated that this language provided a formalism wherein familiar concepts of musical analysis could be readily expressed. We also discovered that the language could be used to produce intriguing specimens of original composition ([Smoliar, 1972]). In this paper we wish to consider extending the analytical and compositional potential of EUTERPE.
