Perpetual Canon on Every Diatonic Interval for String Octet in B-flat major.

Featured Replies

As stated in the title, this perpetual canon follows all diatonic intervals of the key of B-flat major, as every entry begins on a different degree of the major scale as a tonal transposition of the canon's theme.

Since every voice enters while alternating between strong and weak beats as displaced accents, this canon could also be described as "per arsin et thesin", so to speak.

Enjoy!

Hey Pabio!

Very nice use of rests and contrary motion to prevent parallels! Since it’s all stepwise motion here, it really reminds me of Palestrina’s Ars Perfecta style. Thx for sharing!
