It took Cope 30 years to develop the software. Now most people cant tell the difference between music by the famous German composer J. S. Bach (1685-1750) and the Bach-like compositions from Copes computer.作曲家年夜卫科普发觉了一个电脑软件,它能编写出古典音乐的原创作品。科普花了30年才完成这个软件，此刻，科普的电脑写出的作品与德国有名作曲家J.S.巴赫写的作品很相像，很少人能分辩出此平分歧。2.It all started in 1980 in the United States, when Cope was trying to write an opera. He was having trouble thinking of new melodies, so he wrote a computer program to create the melodies. 这一切始于1980年的美国，那时科普正在写一部戏剧，可是他无法创作出新的旋律，于是他编写了一个电脑软件来帮他编曲。At first this music was not easy to listen to. What did Cope do? 最起头的时辰，软件写出的乐曲并不动听。科普是怎么做的呢？He began to rethink how human beings compose music. 他起头从头考虑人们作曲的体例。He realized that composers，brains work like big databases. First, they take in all the music that they have ever heard. Then they take out the music that they dislike. Finally, they make new music from what is left. 他生疏到作曲家的年夜脑就像一个年夜数据库，他们先领受他们听过的全部音乐，然后去除他们不宠爱的，最终再依据留下的音乐来创作出新的旋律。According to Cope, only the great composers are able to create the database accurately, remember it, and form new musical patterns from it.科普认为，只有伟年夜的作曲家才能成立好的数据库，而且能熟记于心，从而缔造出新的音乐。3.Cope built a huge database of existing music. He began with hundreds of works by Bach. The software analyzed the data：it broke it down into smaller pieces and looked for patterns. It then combined the pieces into new patterns. Before long, the program could compose short Bach-like works. They werent good, but it was a start.科普依据现有的音乐成立了简单的数据库，最起头的时辰，数据库包含了几百部巴赫的作品。科普的软件将这些数据进行剖析：首先它讲音乐拆解成小的片段，从中找出固定模式，然后将片段合成新的模式。不久，这个软件就能够写出和巴赫气概很像的小曲子。它们并不完善，但这只是个起头。4.Cope knew he had more work to do-he had a whole opera to write. He continued to improve the software. Soon it could analyze more complex music. He also added many other composers, including his own work, to the database.科普知道，他要做的还有良多他得写出一整部歌剧。他进一步完善他的软件，不久它就能够写出更简单的音乐了。他还在数据库中插手了一些其他作曲家的作品，其中也搜罗他自己的作品。5.A few years later，Copes computer program, called “Emmy”，was ready to help him with his opera. The process required a lot of collaboration between the composer and Emmy. Cope listened to the computers musical ideas and used the ones that he liked. With Emmy, the opera took only two weeks to finish. It was called Cradle Falling, and it was a great success! Cope received some of the best reviews of his career, but no one knew exactly how he had composed the work.几年后，科普的软件“艾米”已经能够辅佐他创作歌剧了。创作过程需要作曲家和艾米协作协作。科普倾听艾米写出的音乐片段，从中拔取他认为好的。有了艾米的辅佐，科普之用了两个礼拜就完成了这部歌剧，叫做摇篮坠落。表演获得巨年夜成功，科普也获得了他有生以来最高的评价，可是没有人知道他事实是若何创作出这部歌剧的。6.Since that first opera, Emmy has written thousands of compositions. Cope still gives Emmy feedback on what he likes and doesnt like of her music, but she is doing most of the hard work of composing these days!从那往后，艾米已经写了上千部作品。科普此刻照旧会给艾米反馈，告知她自己哪些音乐是他宠爱的，哪些是不宠爱的，可是此刻年夜部门困难的工作是由艾米来完成的！精品电年夜复习资料3词汇：original/rdnl / adj有独创性的collaboration / klæbren / n合作review/ rvju:/ n评论feedback /fi:dbæk / n反馈注释J. S. Bach约翰塞巴斯蒂安巴赫（德语：Johann Sebastian Bach，1685年3月31日一1750年7月28日），巴洛克时代的德国作曲家，精采的管风琴、小提琴、年夜键琴吹奏家，同作曲家亨德尔和泰勒曼齐名。巴赫被普遍认为是音乐史上最主要的作曲家之一，并被尊称为“西方现代音乐之父”，也是西方文化史上最主要的人物之一。
