We present a model for a database of multi-track polyphonic songs searchable via regular expressions and stored in a relational database. The database is a standard off-the-shelf SQL-based relational database management system. The regular expression format used is of our own design, but could be replaced by any equivalent format. Songs are culled from non-analog sources such as MIDI and decomposed into a relational model. Searching is accomplished via a translation between our query language and SQL.
