A bibliographic-information impression word is generated from a bibliographic information segment about selected one of music pieces. An acoustic feature quantity of an audio signal representing the selected music piece is calculated. A feature-quantity impression word is generated from the calculated acoustic feature quantity. A degree of conformity between the bibliographic-information impression word and the feature-quantity impression word is determined. Both the bibliographic-information impression word and the feature-quantity impression word are selected as final impression words when the determined conformity degree is greater than a predetermined threshold value. One is selected from the bibliographic-information impression word and the feature-quantity impression word as a final impression word when the determined conformity degree is not greater than the predetermined threshold value. A signal representing the final impression word or words is stored into a storage in relation to the selected music piece.

A system and method for retrieving musical information from a database based on a melody fragment. The system may be used by a person without formal musical training to retrieve musical data (e.g., the name of a song, bibliographic information about a song, or the song itself) from a database by providing the melody or fragment of the melody of the desired music to a computer interface. The melody may be provided by singing, humming, whistling, or playing a musical instrument, for example, a keyboard. The inputted melodic information is encoded using relative changes in pitch and rhythm throughout the melody. The encoded information is then compared using a matching algorithm to similarly encoded melodic information representative of many musical pieces (e.g., songs). Results may also be sorted using a weighted algorithm.
