Description

The Wagner Ring Dataset (WRD) is a multi-modal and multi-version annotated dataset built on Wagner's tetralogy Der Ring des Nibelungen. The Ring comprises four operas (or music dramas) organized into eleven acts and 21939 measures. Concerning the  primary material (raw data), the WRD provides score representations in various modalities and 16 recorded performances (three of them publicly available). For all versions (score and audio), we provide comprehensive annotations of measure positions, note events, singing voice regions including singers and lyrics as well as scene, key, and time signature regions. The WRD is organized as follows:

01_RawData

  • score_pdf_IMSLP
  • score_sibelius
  • score_pdf_sibelius
  • score_musicxml
  • score_midi
  • audio_wav
