This study introduces the novel concepts of Explicit and Implicit Musical Parameters (EMPs and IMPs) and demonstrates their application in digital musicology. Furthermore, it discusses the concept of ‘musical words’, that suggests representing explicit and implicit musical parameters as words or textual entities. This ‘music-to-text’ approach allows the application of advanced techniques and tools commonly used within the computational linguistics for the analysis of musical data, highlighting the structural parallels between music and language. Lastly, the findings of this paper not only illustrate the feasibility of this approach but also pave the way for further interdisciplinary studies and the advancement of analytical user-friendly tools that are applicable in both computational linguistics and digital musicology.
