Centred topic of my master’s thesis is music patterns in Slovenian lied in-between the two World wars. The research sets its fundamental focus to three central composers of the time – Marij Kogoj (1892–1956), Lucijan Marija Škerjanc (1900–1973) and Slavko Osterc (1895–1941). Firstly, the thesis establishes musically-historical groundwork which mainly serves as a mediator between the gathered results and their interpretation. This is followed by a digital analysis of music notation which consists of two preeminent frames, both executed in Python language with music21. First model carries out corpus (meta)data processing through sixteen different parameters. N-gram analysis method establishes the second model. It returns series of melody patterns (music intervals) and three different types of rhythmic patterns. Both are commented separately and then compared. This method includes a selection of five music pieces per author. The thesis concludes its findings with content synthesis, evaluation of established computational model and encourages further research within the observed topic.
