We showcase two recently published datasets of polyphonic a 
6 1 Polina Proutskova
cappella vocal music. Both publicly available datasets form exciting 
7 1 Polina Proutskova
research scenarios for music information retrieval (MIR) tasks such as 
8 1 Polina Proutskova
(multiple) F0-estimation or source separation in vocal music. First, we 
9 1 Polina Proutskova
present the Erkomaishvili dataset, a curated corpus of traditional 
10 1 Polina Proutskova
Georgian vocal music. The corpus is based on historic tape recordings of 
11 1 Polina Proutskova
three-voice Georgian songs performed by the former master chanter Artem 
12 1 Polina Proutskova
Erkomaishvili. Second, we present Dagstuhl ChoirSet, a multitrack 
13 1 Polina Proutskova
dataset of "Western" a cappella choral music. The dataset includes 
14 1 Polina Proutskova
recordings of an amateur vocal ensemble performing two choir pieces in 
15 1 Polina Proutskova
full choir and quartet settings. The audio data was recorded during an 
16 1 Polina Proutskova
MIR seminar at Schloss Dagstuhl using different close-up microphones to

capture the individual singers' voices.
