Fugax Contrapunctus Posted September 2 Posted September 2 (edited) Based on the same core concept as the last two canons, this one took roughly under four hours to complete (as time seems to fly once I finally get inspired) and is intended to incapsulate the essential technique employed in these more recent compositions with a greater measure of brevity and conciseness involved, for perhaps three minutes of the same nonstop iterations (as was the case in the previous one) may have turned out quite a bit too repetitive, I regret.

PeterthePapercomPoser Posted yesterday at 03:12 AM Posted yesterday at 03:12 AM Hi @Fugax Contrapunctus! I like how you reinterpret the subject of the canon in the choir to allow you to fit in more syllables - that worked out quite well! And the whole canon has a nice structure that is corroborated by the orchestration where every time the canon repeats (returns back to its original key) a new group of instruments (woodwinds) or choir is added to bring the repetition into more of a high relief. It's a joy to listen to! Also - did you mean the Oboe 2 part to be played by English Horn? It seems to be too low for Oboe. And a very nice rounded off ending. Thanks for sharing! Quote
MJFOBOE Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago The low A is not present on the Oboe .... You can score it for Oboe D'Amore which has a low A in the scale or as been said English Horn. Maark Quote
