Recent studies demonstrate that algorithmic music attracted global attention not only because of its amusement but also its considerable potential in the industry. Thus, the yield increased academic numbers spinning around on topics of algorithm music generation. The balance between mathematical logic and aesthetic value is important in music generation. To maintain this balance, we propose a research method based on a three-dimensional temporal convolutional attention neural network. This method uses a self-collected traditional Chinese pentatonic symbolic music dataset. It combines clustering algorithms and deep learning-related algorithms to construct a three-dimensional sequential convolutional generation model 3D-SCN, a three-dimensional temporal convolutional attention model BoYaTCN. We trained both of them to generate traditional Chinese pentatonic scale music that considers both overall temporal creativity and local musical semantics. Then, we conducted quantitative and qualitative evaluations of the generated music. The experiment demonstrates that BoYaTCN achieves the best results, with a prediction accuracy of 99.12%, followed by 3D-SCN with a prediction accuracy of 99.04%. We have proven that the proposed model can generate folk music with a beautiful melody, harmonious coherence, and distinctive traditional Chinese pentatonic features, and it also conforms to certain musical grammatical characteristics.
