Abstract
  • Previous research has found that annotations Western classical musicians create in their sheet music during ensemble rehearsal play a key role in fostering group coordination during music performance. Despite their important role in musicians' information interactions with sheet music and with each other, a dearth of research exists regarding musicians' annotations. This study conducted a content analysis of annotations that singers in a 100-voice choir created in 158 copies of music while rehearsing two pieces. More than 2,600 annotations were identified and classified according to a coding scheme previously developed by the most extensive study of musicians' score annotations to date. This study characterized choristers' annotations using the coding scheme. This paper offers an assessment of the coding scheme, suggestions for an improved research design, and ideas for future research of musicians' score annotations.
