Iridescent Fugue | Original Composition in E-Minor
Noteworthy features of this fugue:
→ the fugue has a tonal answer (the second note is transposed only a fourth higher); because this is often harmonically relevant throughout the piece, I colour-coded the answer with a paler purple than the subject
→ the inversion of the subject (highlighted in blue) appears three times: already in the exposition (at 0:20), where I chose it as the third entry to achieve an authentic cadence
→ the other two inverted subject entries are at 0:53 and 1:09
→ the fugue explores very distant keys, but I bring it back to the home key at 1:23 with an enharmonic modulation from b♭-minor to b-minor (the dominant of e-minor)
→ this is also where the stretto section begins, which concludes with an entry of the answer at 1:40 closely followed by an entry of the subject
→ the piece is written in 12/16: each bar has four beats consisting of three 16th notes
The fugue has 3 parts and is written for one player.

Poltergeist Fugue | Original Composition in C-Major
มุมมอง 1.3K28 วันที่ผ่านมา
Noteworthy features of this fugue: → this is a so-called “Fächerfuge”: after the first answer is stated in the exposition, the fugue does not return to the home key, but continues to transpose, like a staircase, until finally reaching the home key; usually, each transposition is to the respective dominant of the previous key, but in the fugue at hand, it is to the subdominant → in major entries...

Theme and Variations in G-Minor | Original Composition
มุมมอง 8222 หลายเดือนก่อน
I’ve been busy with other projects lately, so here is a piece I composed about five years ago. I recorded this with my mobile phone back then, on my slightly detuned piano with my mediocre playing skills. I didn’t know counterpoint yet and hardly any music theory. It’s a nice document of the way I’ve come as a composer. Have a nice day! ^^
Invention in A-Minor | Original Composition
มุมมอง 1.1K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
Notable features of this invention (also included in the CLOSED CAPTIONS for closer analysis) → the subject is used in inversion at 0:12, 0:45, and 1:17 → there are partial stretto entries at 0:21 and 0:53 → there is a sequence with the head of the subject at 1:08 Have a nice day! ^^
Final Countdown Fugue (for rock band) | Original Composition in F♯-Minor
มุมมอง 8303 หลายเดือนก่อน
Noteworthy features of this fugue: → this is a so-called stretto fugue (or “close fugue”), where the subject and the answer overlap already in the exposition; this works because I use a tonal answer, which happens to be in invertible counterpoint with the tail of the subject (i.e., the piano riff of the song) → at 0:56, a variation of the subject is overlayed by the melody of the song lyrics → ...
Treefold Fugue (for string quartet) | Original Composition in F♯-Minor
มุมมอง 3.3K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
Noteworthy features of this fugue: → this is a triple fugue, meaning it has three different subjects, which all play simultaneously in the course of the piece, along with other themes such as countersubjects; I colour-coded all seven pieces of thematic material that are interlaced and developed in this fugue (sometimes, it might not be directly evident why I coloured a certain segment because t...
Echo Fugue | Original Composition in E-Minor
มุมมอง 2.7K5 หลายเดือนก่อน
Noteworthy features of this fugue: → at 0:54, a section of three inverted subject entries (marked in blue) begins → the stretto section beginning at 1:14 features the following: → a crab canon at 1:14 (aka retrograde canon or canon cancrizans) → normal entries (purple), inverted entries (blue), retrograde entries (lilac), and inverted retrograde entries (green), all in different variations of o...
Fugue of All Living Things (for string quartet) | Original Composition in B(♭)-Minor
มุมมอง 7596 หลายเดือนก่อน
Noteworthy features of this fugue: → the piece starts and ends in b-minor, but it has a large section in b♭-minor, hence the title → this section starts in bar 38 (1:36), which marks the end of the shorter side of the golden ratio → the end of the larger section of the golden ratio falls in bar 62 (2:36) and coincides with the introduction of the inverted subject, which is alluded to in the pre...

Noteworthy features of this fugue: → the first answer in the exposition starts a sixth lower instead of a fourth, the second answer starts a fourth higher, and only the third answer starts a fifth higher → every episode has a different time signature from the rest of the piece → at 1:32, there is a crab canon (aka retrograde canon or canon cancrizans), meaning the subject is layed against itsel...
Storm Fugue | Original Composition in G-Minor
มุมมอง 12K8 หลายเดือนก่อน
Noteworthy features of this fugue (also included in the CLOSED CAPTIONS for closer analysis) → the answer modulates to the minor dominant as late as in the third measure, and the subject modulates back to the tonic in the last beat of the first measure → the tail of the subject has two implied voices: the lower one also features in the countersubject, the upper one (or its first bar) is sometim...

Fugue of Passion | Original Composition in D-Minor
มุมมอง 2.1K9 หลายเดือนก่อน
Noteworthy features of this fugue: → there is an augmentation of the subject at 0:19, serving as the basis for the first episode → at 0:39, instead of starting by leaping up a seventh, the subject entry leaps down a ninth (i.e., the first note of the subject is placed two octaves higher) → there are one and a half inverted entries of the subject in stretto at 1:18, with the first note placed an...

Noteworthy features of this fugue: → This fugue is made up of only three basic motives: 1. the rhythmic pattern of the first and second bar (three 8th notes followed by two 16ths) 2. the figure in the third and fourth bar (also occurs in retrograde and retrograde inversion) 3. the scale in the fifth bar (optionally moved up an octave after the downbeat, after the second beat, or both) → The las...

Amazing
@@Kontorskiy2024 Thanks a lot! :D
Splendid!!!! i am out of breath again!
@@eytonshalomsandiego Thanks a lot! :D
I have to admit, your progression is kinda absurd, and unconventional. Normally Fugue is going from Home key to Dominant or Subdominant, but you, you put I - bIII - I - bVI! Overall it's great... I'm just shocked.
@@nurrasyid14_ Haha, I know, I was a bit shocked myself. xD But it somehow made sense to me. At some point, I started playing around with the traditional approach. Actually, in the exposition, I go i-iii-i-iv-i-v. Or are you talking about the harmonic progression of the whole piece?
@averynhiell the exposition, everything after exposition is no matter bro. 👍
@@nurrasyid14_ I see. The fugue I’m working on right now also has an unconventional harmonic progression in the exposition, so brace yourself. lol
@@averynhiell broooo, good luck, I'm just doing normal Fugues now. My current Fugue is just "sweet".
Learn me!!!
@@OltScript313 I’ve been considering making tutorial-like videos for fugal writing. Would that be something you’d be interested in?
@@averynhiell Yes.
Nice pretty fugue with very four voices. The raining thema !
@@slydd38 Thanks a lot! ^^
I could see it in pirates of the caribbean in parts, it's very compelling music :)
@@HuffleScrumblo Thank you so much, I respect the music in this franchise a lot! (=
that fugue subject is CRAZY lol, absolutely fantastic work making it work.
@@ekenyon51416 Thank you so much! =D
I like 1:52 as well when everything suddenly becomes crazy almost like a fantasia.
@@Swaroque Thank you! (= I struggled a lot with the ending. It was a lot shorter originally, but my music teacher urged me to expand it because it was too abrupt. The ending I settled on is not my usual style, but I wanted to experiment a bit with what I sometimes observe in Bach when the coda contrasts with the rest of the piece in tempo and style.
@@averynhiell Thank you ! You're obviously very advanced in your craft so you can experiment successfully with the music. I'm in no position to criticise . I've started to build some music with software and it's very ametureish.
@@Swaroque Everyone has to start somewhere. Keep it up! ^^
Once again a master work ! Probably in French Rhythm. Also the Piano display is very helpful.
@@Swaroque Thanks a lot! :D What is French rhythm? Good to know the piano display helps! ^^
@averynhiell Hello Thank you for the reply ! French Rhythm is a type of swinging rhythm found in Bach's French Suites. It's almost like Jazz! The Piano display is very helpful for me to get idea of the music, what I understood is this is a 3-voice fugue.
@ Ah, I see! Yes, this is a three-part fugue. (:
funny, i was imagining an irredescent humming bird, not thinking about you title..
@@eytonshalomsandiego I was actually considering calling it “Hummingbird Fugue”, but the music doesn’t move fast enough most of the time. ^^
Is it typically Baroque to repeat the same phrase in different keys (sometimes once, twice, or even three times) one after the other? For instance, at 1:06 and 1:34, the subject repeats again in a different key. And what is the technical name of these repeats?
@@mastertao1179 I assume you mean “sequence”, which is very typical and often used for modulation in fugues (i.e. moving the piece to a different key). It is not the subject, though, but only a part of it or a different piece of thematic material. More info: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_(music)
@@averynhiell Thank you for your information Averyn.
@@mastertao1179 You are welcome! ^^
Hello Averyn, very nice. Ihave just downloaded the sheetmusic and maybe we'll be playing it with Oboe, Violin and Basson. Not too difficult. (But f-Minor on Violin? Maybe i will transposing it :)
@@Raffael-Tausend Thank you, I feel honoured! ^^ If you record it, feel free to send it to me (you can find my e-mail address in my profile description).
Once again a marvelous fugue from you, really great stuff, I very much love it! I am curious though, what books on counterpoint, fugue, or baroque music do you recommend? I just picked up Fux's The Study of Counterpoint, and Alfred Mann's The Study of Fugue, and am wondering what others would be beneficial for contrapuntal composition.
@solidsnake8008 Wow, thank you so much! :D My teacher used a couple of books. Apart from Fux’s "The Study of Counterpoint", some online material (e.g. viva.pressbooks.pub/openmusictheory/), and texts my teacher compiled himself, here are the other books we used: Robert Gauldin: A Practical Approach to Eighteenth-Century Counterpoint André Gedalge: Traité de la Fugue (translated into English by Laurence Buell) Ebenezer Prout: Fugue Knud Jeppesen: Counterpoint - The Polyphonic Vocal Style of the Sixteenth Century Edward Aldwell and Carl Schachter: Harmony and Voiceleading (this one isn’t about counterpoint but a great overview over harmony) Of course, we didn’t read all of the books front to back; my teacher used examples from the texts and let me read salient chapters in the various books. Therefore, I can’t explicitly recommend any of them, I’m afraid. But I think most of them are not easy to obtain, so perhaps start with the ones that you can get hold of. Let me know if you have more questions. ^^
Beautiful, full of energy! Fugue carefully written for 3 voices, and playable by a human on real piano. Love your evolution, using baroque fugue rules but with all the freedom for expression.
@@alindmay Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! :D Btw, did you intend this comment for a different video of mine? It doesn’t really fit this one. Unfortunately, TH-cam automatically plays the next recommended video by default when one video ends.

i always love your use of rhythm! on an unrelated note, i've almost finished writing the first fugue that i'm proud of, i just need to make a couple final edits and then i'll email it to you!
@@obonyxiam Thanks a lot! ^^ And I’m looking forward to your fugue. If you use Musescore, feel free to send me a Musescore file, otherwise, PDF and MP3 should do the trick. (:

This contains such elegance and beauty! I sincerely thought Bach composed it. It is only after three weeks of listening to it did I actually take the time to read the title correctly, "ORIGINAL composition." This piece is magnificent.

What on earth is that G in bar 3 beat 2?!
@@lordlouckster2315 It’s part of a ii°7 chord that is filled out in the next beat. You could also analyse it as a iv followed by a ii°7 in the next beat.
can i study this fugue for writing my own fugue ? its serial and partly dice-written (but not fully twelve tone, and it seems like it probably sounds tonal though i havent checked), so im sure a lot of trad. counterpoint rules was thrown out in the baby bathwater in favor of stating rows i want to get organizing content at least right, and you have a very strong grasp on music form 🤯
