The Role of Orchestration in Shaping Musical Form: Theory and Practice of a Methodological Proposal and Its Computational Implementation [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
We introduce a method for computer-assisted analysis of orchestration. We also look into the role that texture and orchestration have in structuring musical form.The method comprises a numerical representation, a hierarchy of 'textural situations' and measures for heterogeneity, diversity and complexity of orchestral-textural configurations.
