Fugax Contrapunctus Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 (edited) Here's a somewhat heterodox crab canon for three voices, which I've been composing throughout the course of this past evening. In contrast to a typical crab canon for two voices, the three melodic lines (here coloured as themes in their own right) vertically swap positions with each repetition, of which the last three are the retrograde variants. Thus, instead of there being a single mirror point to divide both halves of the canon, the whole line has to be segmented into smaller themes that cycle across registers through means of invertible counterpoint. Lastly, an ornamented cadence has been included at the end for a proper sense of conclusion. By all means this is not a strict crab canon, so I all advice on how to make it more rigorous or coherent is more than welcome.

Luis Hernández Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Regardless of whether it is a strict canon or not it sounds very good. I wrote this post, in case you are interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
