Finally I have gotten my proverbial arse in gear and finished Exercise 5!
All of the woodwind parts are purely unison and octave doublings of my original 2 part counterpoint, with an extremely simple string pizzicato accompaniment just to state the harmony clearly more than anything else.
On a few occasions I made more 'lines' by doubling a few parts of one melody and a few of the other and combining them in one part. Is this a good idea?
One final note - I wrote this away from a computer or any instruments, and still haven't heard it due to my computer being unco-operative concerning midi playback, so I apologise if I've accidently done something grossy untasteful which I would've noticed on hearing it
Again, thanks so much for running these masterclasses, I'm learning loads
