Perhaps a Chorale in C-sharp minor...


Recommended Posts

Just (hopefully to be) a chorale with a great lack of homophony (which I once read to be a pretty characteristic attribute of chorales as a whole) so I'm not really sure whether to call it a somewhat heterodox chorale or something else I might be utterly missing. I began it just today and have spent most time this day finishing and arranging it for a string quartet, whose version I'll probably be uploading in a few minutes. Annyway, here it is:

Thank you so much. Are there really so many parallels? If so, I'm either blind or deaf. Besides how unlearned I am in harmony, thank you.

 

That's okay, you aren't the first one to run into the issue of parallels. I run into parallel fifths and octaves all the time in my canons and fugues, even when I try to avoid those parallels. I also run into parallel fourths a lot, though not as much as parallel fifths or parallel octaves. Parallel thirds and sixths are okay as long as there aren't so many in a row that the 2 voices in parallel motion don't sound independent anymore(I usually try to stick to 4 or fewer thirds or sixths in a run of parallels before going back to contrary and oblique motion in my contrapuntal works).
