To its improvement, I remixed one of the pieces in the post directly above:

Check out these five canons (with accompaniment) that I composed over the past couple of days:

To break up the computer-assisted music a bit, here is a very different one composed in a more traditional fashion:

I reworked the piece above a bit to benefit it and put my program's contrapuntal technique more on display. It starts out with the input melody. Then, after it sounds once, that same melody sounds again with two voices added. Then, to bring things to a close, it sounds third time in the presence of four other voices.

This one turned out quite nice. All I did was provide a melody and specify five voices and the harmonization was determined in a purely deterministic fashion:

Whoops, I forgot to connect two of the voices to sound output. Here's the fixed version:

Reworked the above composition to harmonize with better technique. Also, added two voices so that there are now five moving in counterpoint rather than just 3.

I accidentally forgot to turn one of the voices on. Here's a better version. Note that the pitches are a bit out of range in the sense that the voices get too close together at points. It's a consequence of the fact that I'm still adjusting the parameters of the program a little:

I started a new and better program from scratch, as the one above, while necessary to create as part of a learning process, is not quite what I currently need. Here's a short and simple piece with three voices moving in counterpoint. It's short because it was a preliminary experiment to test the principles I was contemplating. I think it turned out nicely as a small proof of concept. By the way, it is not in standard 12-tone equal temperament but rather something closer to just intonation:

Fixed a major error in the program's functioning. Here's a piece to illustrate. It has several voices moving at once:
