As an oral tradition, its musical di-mension is the result of the application of a series of pre-defined conventions and it offers unique concepts for mu-sicological research. Computational analyses of jingju music are still scarce, and only a few studies have dealt with it from an MIR perspective. In this paper we present the creation of a corpus of jingju music in the framework of the CompMusic project that is formed by audio, edito-rial metadata, lyrics and scores. We discuss the criteria followed for the acquisition of the data, describe the con-tent of the corpus, and evaluate its suitability for compu-tational and musicological research. We also identify several research problems that can take advantage of this corpus in the context of computational musicology, espe-cially for melodic analysis, and suggest approaches for future work.application/pdfeng© Rafael Caro Repetto, Xavier Serra.
