A collection of 3 Short Fugues


Recommended Posts

I made these fugues for @chopin's "Short Fugue" challenge:

They're all 3-voice fugues for Organ/Keyboard under a minute long (since the whole purpose was to get people to try out Music Jotter).  The Bb major fugue's subject is a little too acrobatic for the pedals.  I don't think I'll be making any more fugues for this challenge so I thought I'd share them here to see what kind of constructive comments/critiques/suggestions or just observations I can get about them.  I am in the process of reading Kent Kennan's Counterpoint book and just happen to have finished the fugue chapters as well.  Thanks for listening!

Edit:  also a big thank you to @chopin for having made these renditions with his Kontakt Organ sounds (which are, apparently, totally free once you get Kontakt).  Thanks a lot Mike!

Edit no.2:  I just realized that the subject to the C minor fugue below is heavily influenced by @PCC's fugue which he wrote for the challenge as well (and is actually derived from a theme from the video game "Kingdom Hearts")
