Luis Hernández Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 This is an exercise. Taking the bass from Purcell's Dido Lament (when I am laid) as a ground bass, I built a canon at the unison. MP3 Play / pause JavaScript is required. 0:00 0:00 volume > next menu canon > next PDF canon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monarcheon Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 m. 12 - F vs. F# m. 15 - F# vs. G m. 28 - Eb vs. E Could have benefitted from some standard resolutions of suspensions but it works okay regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis Hernández Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Thanks! My teacher gave it as OK, since in the discrepancies are involved non-chord tones. Anyway, I'll ask her again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappielly Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I think this is nice. Short but effective. As an aside I must confess that during those rare times when I am laid my mood tends to be somewhat less somber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishyfry Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Great! Personally, I like the way the suspensions resolve. They don't quite release to the totally pleasant place you want. It's more like a sigh, which fits with the theme of a lament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
