All those articles are listed in <a href="http://a-touch-of-music.blogspot.be/2013/08/algorithmic-composition-generating.html" rel="nofollow">my blog entry about generating tonal canons using algorithmic composition</a>.<br /><br />Have fun on your future musical path.shiihshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738225085577318818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648227177104898374.post-81032610839262419332013-11-05T08:23:20.852-08:002013-11-05T08:23:20.852-08:00I was just looking around for something to link to...I was just looking around for something to link to on FB to show others that no, my interest in crab canons (and contrapuntal procedures in general, particularly canons and that Tudor favorite, diminuation) is not a general indication of psychopathy. Then, lo, your site appeared! I think your example is a very good one, and your explanation, excellent. Have you read Allan Atlas' passage on crab canons in his book, Renaissance Music? Because he actually shows how much easier it is to write complex crab canons utilizing 14th century rules that lie outside the, you should pardon the term, canon of modern harmonic relationships.<br /><br />Anyway, thanks again. Glad others are interested in this and similar forms, and that you do it so well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648227177104898374.post-17169858699101368052012-08-19T04:25:48.789-07:002012-08-19T04:25:48.789-07:00Hello DoosC, good to see you back :)
Thanks for t...Hello DoosC, good to see you back :)<br /><br />Thanks for the comment. I think you hit the nail on its head by saying that it is "technically" impressive rather than "musically" impressive. It is probably what that distinguishes amateurs like me from masters like J.S. Bach: Bach used all kinds of such tricks in his music, but managed to do so in a way that led to impressive music at the same time.<br />shiihshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738225085577318818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648227177104898374.post-83079386424964413582012-08-19T01:47:44.439-07:002012-08-19T01:47:44.439-07:00Technically impressive !
