  2. Counterpoint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterpoint

    In fifth species counterpoint, sometimes called florid counterpoint, the other four species of counterpoint are combined within the added parts. In the example, the first and second bars are second species, the third bar is third species, the fourth and fifth bars are third and embellished fourth species, and the final bar is first species.

  3. Cambiata - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambiata

    In species counterpoint, the dissonant cambiata can be called an idiom in that it is considered an acceptable pattern even though it breaks a rule, in this case, that of skipping from a dissonance. The dissonance in the dissonant cambiata is approached by descending step and occurs on a weak half or quarter of the beat; the skip from the ...

    Counterpoint (Kontrapunkt in the original German) is the second volume of Heinrich Schenker's New Musical Theories and Fantasies (the first is Harmony and the third is Free Composition).

    "The study of voice leading is the study of the principles that govern the progression of the component voices of a composition both separately and in combination. In the Schenkerian tradition, this study begins with strict species counterpoint." [21] Vordergrund. See Foreground.

    Some of the rods are used for counterpoint in the "simple style" (or first-species counterpoint) in which all 4 parts have the same rhythm, and others are used for what Kircher calls the "florid style" (or fifth-species counterpoint), in which the 4 voices move independently. [3]

  7. Biological rules - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_rules

    Biological rules and laws are often developed as succinct, broadly applicable ways to explain complex phenomena or salient observations about the ecology and biogeographical distributions of plant and animal species around the world, though they have been proposed for or extended to all types of organisms. Many of these regularities of ecology ...

  8. Contrapuntal motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contrapuntal_motion

    Parallel motion at an interval of a perfect fifth is known as parallel or consecutive fifths, and at an interval of an octave is known as parallel or consecutive octaves. Perfect intervals, i.e. the (perfect) unison, fifth and octave, are generally avoided in traditional counterpoint because they offer the lines so little independence from each ...

  9. Peter Westergaard's tonal theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Westergaard's_tonal...

    Westergaard presented formal grammars to construct/parse species lines. According to him, there are three types of lines: primary line, generic line, and the bass line. Their base structures (called A-rules in ITT) are different, but the elaborative rules (called B-rules in ITT) are almost the same for each. Here you can find the details of the ...
