Abstract: The following thesis reports on work performed to replicate and improve upon an algorithm for the Roman numeral harmonic analysis of homophonic choral music. Improvements made aimed to expand the reach of the algorithm, which was initially implemented specifically with Bach chorales in mind, to the broader period of common practice art music and the homophonic choral music within it. The thesis concludes by exploring potential Web-based applications for the algorithm's new implementation, with particular focus on the area of music theory education. *The associated code has been included as a supplement to this paper on the NC Docks archive.
