Renaissance music constitutes a resource of immense rich- ness for Western culture, as shown by its central role in digital humanities. Yet, despite the advance of computa- tional musicology in analysing other Western repertoires, the use of computer-based methods to automatically re- trieve relevant information from Renaissance music, e. g., identifying word-painting strategies such as madrigalisms, is still underdeveloped. To this end, we propose a score- based machine learning approach for the classification of texture in Italian madrigals of the 16th century. Our out- comes indicate that Low Level Descriptors, such as inter- vals, can successfully convey differences in High Level features, such as texture. Furthermore, our baseline re- sults, particularly the ones from a Convolutional Neural Network, show that machine learning can be successfully used to automatically identify sections in madrigals asso- ciated with specific textures from symbolic sources. 1.
