I was a bit suspicious at first, from the title... but I like it alot. It has rhythm and good motives. I only wish I could hear it on more equal instruments so that all the melodic lines could sound clearly.

thanks! so never let yourself be mislead by titles again
i attache a midi for you to change the sound fonts as pleases to you. cheers!

Your style of composing is hard to review, becuase it sounds very different from anything I have ever heard. The motives were very strong, and as I said, the rhythms are very interesting. It seems to have a fugal form, which isn't very characteristic of any passpieds I have heard.... but then again, I have only heard two.

Counterpoint-wise, there doesn't seem to be any strong harmonies, in fact, the melodies sound simultaneously, but seem to have different harmonies. The initial theme does seem to always begin on d, which gives it a tonal base of a sort. What sort of harmonic style do you call this? What sort of rules do you follow in creating the polyphony? I'd like to know more about the style. It is very unique. I would like to see a version of this where the motives are combined in traditional counterpoint. Of course, you should develop your style however you want. I usually write msuic in traditional baroque styles, so sometimes I have trouble helping others with other styles.... but I liked this alot. You should tell us more about your pieces.

hi echurchill!

thanks for writing again!

well this and other pieces recently posted were intended at first as fugues, but as i don't know how to deal with that form properly, i decided to keep just a presentation in fugatto but afterwards i abandoned the tradition and just followed my inspiration, with the theme returning here and there when i felt it would work for strengthening the overall structure, which is always free in my music.

i love counterpoint and use it in many diferent styles, it is my way of thinking and writing music. there is not any definite tonal or modal frame, my counterpoint - i don't know how to name it - is always intuitive and i always prefer to use independent voices and not chordal writing. sometimes the effect is tonal, other times it is modal, and still other times it cannot be defined within any known school. i have never studied theoretical books, all my pieces are fruit of experimental and personal researches.

if you would like to see the motives developed in a traditional way feel free to make an attempt with them. cheers!
