Eb instruments still

noreply@blogger.com (laura beth) — Fri, 09 May 2008 01:07:00 +0000

I'm in concert pitch, do I transpose Eb

Suspensions

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 08 May 2008 21:14:00 +0000

Here's my dumb question: Okay I missed the day suspensions were introduced and I've been a bit confused ever since, which notes are you looking at to find the interval for the suspension? Are you looking at the other note in the bass cleff (the presumed tenor) or soprano/'alto' note?

(I usually just found whatever one worked and went with it but it'd be nice to know if there's a rule about that I've been retarded about.)

PAC progressions

noreply@blogger.com (bobg321) — Tue, 06 May 2008 17:03:00 +0000

would it be incorrect to, instead of doing a I-V-I progression as the cadence, to do a I-IV-V-I as a PAC or can a PAC only be approached by a I chord?

4th Species Suggestions

noreply@blogger.com (Randall Sorensen) — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 16:13:00 +0000

An excellent way to start a fourth species counterpoint exercise is to begin with a rest to set up a tied over pitch resulting in a suspension. Review the excellent examples handed out in class from Salzer and Schacters book Counterpoint in Composition. Use the cantus firmi to write your own fourth species melody.
