____ mode starts on E and hypo_____ starts on B

 

(Finalis is E)

Phyrigian and Hypophrygian Mode

____ mode starts on F and hypo____ starts on C

 

(Finalis is F)

 

Lydian and hypolydian mode

________mode starts on G and hypo _______ starts on D

 

Finalis is G

Mixolydian and hypomixolydian

______ mode starts on A and hypo______ starts on E

 

(Finalis is A)

Aeolian and hypoaeolian mode
Finalis is another way of saying what?
The TONIC of the piece.
The reciting tone is also known as what ?  Also how do you find this tone?

The reciting tone is also known as the Dominant (V) of the tonic or Finalis –

 

IE- If the Finalis is F  -the mode is Lydian – and the V of an F scale is C – therefore your reciting tone is C and it makes up the Hypolydian scale.

What type of motion is forbidden in 16th century counterpoint in a melodic line?
“similar/hidden/direct” – 5th’s, 8th’s, 12th’s, and unisons.
What must happen when approaching an perfect interval?
1– one of the 2 voices must move by step, 2– The note preceeding the perfect interval must form a consonance, and 3– the notes preceeding the perfect interval must be WHITE notes.
What kind of whole note can occur ONLY on a strong beat?
Dotted whole note
what kind of note can only occur on a half note beat?
dotted half note ( ie do not tie from a shorter to a longer note value)
Can you write syncopated half notes?
No, they are rare in this literature.; – another way of thinking of this is NEVER tie from a weak quarter note.

What are some tendencies for points of imitation?

( Ie: they start slow and speed up later in the peice)

1-Start piece with a whole note or longer

2. avoid placing a long value in the middle of a phrase ( dotted whole note or longer)

3. After a point of imitation begins – and speeds up use Quarter notes liberally.

4.; Use pairs of 8th notes only occasionally

What does first and 2nd species counterpoint mean?
first is note against note ( whole notes) and 2nd is two notes against one ( half notes agaisnt whole)
Name the perfect consonances:
1,5,8,12,15th… etc

2, 4, 7, 9 , 11, and ALL DIM and AUG intervals…

Unison or an Octave! – AND the motion must be STEPWISE in BOTH voices.

Perfect intervals must be approached by what?

;

What is the ONLY exception?

Perfect intervals must be approached by contrary or oblique motion ( no parallel; or similar motion unisons, 5th or octaves)

;

**The only exeption is : sometimes a P5 may be approached by similar motion – and in this case only one of the voices has to move by step.**

How many consecutive Parallel 3rds or 6ths is acceptable?
3… but 4 is the absolute maximum!!
Consonant intervals larger than _______ are somewhat less frequent – because the voices are so seperated.
an octave
How much voice crossing is acceptable?
a good rule of thumb is no more that 20 percent of the piece should have voice cross.
Where should unisons appear? Strong or weak beat?
The WEAK beat
Can octaves be used on strong beats? how often?
yes they can, but they are to be used very infrequently
avoid more than ___ perfect intervals in a row….

2

;

** Use a mixture of P and IMPerfect intervals; with a preference for imperfect consonances. ( 3 and 6)

;

Skipping in both voices at the same time…
What notes are to be used in addition to Bflat?
only natural notes.; – and only use Bb for a specific purpose.

F#, C#, and G# – and they can only be used as CADENCES!
What kind of leaps or skips are PROHIBITED – with the acception of an octave leap?

;

;

descending skips of 6ths… and also ascending skips of a Major 6th.
Outlines of what intervals are prohibited?

Augmented 4ths and Dimished 5ths ( ie Tritones)

avoid more than 2 skips in succession – and if you do use 2 skips in a row keep them SMALL… ie- 3rds!!!
If you use a combo of skips and steps try to do what?
try to keep the larger interval below the smaller one
How many repeated notes in a row is acceptable?

no, avoid a static line and overuse of one pitch
