ComposedBySam Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 The first contrapuntal piece I have written after 6 months of composing. Need some advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NRKulus Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 For only having been composing for 6 months, your grasp of the Baroque style and sense of counterpoint are excellent! My main question is: why did you write this for voices and not instruments? Since there are no words, and this would be extremely difficult to sing,* why not just use a string quintet instead? Or even woodwinds, who could play these lines pretty easily. *The fast, wide leaps (e.g. soprano, 2nd line) as well as the fast notes at the extremes of their ranges (soprano m. 12; baritone, m. 17) are almost impossible vocally... and even without them, the harmonic and rhythmic independence of the parts would make this a huge challenge to put together a cappella. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComposedBySam Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 Yes. You're right. Should have wrote this for a string quartet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
