@@DrKatiMeyerMusicTheory It has nothing to do with 21st century. Rules are frequently observed and broken to great effect in early music. The point was that theory is about establishing a framework and composition is about iterating on it artfully.
Is it general practice to consider a Perfect fourth a dissonance? Or is this only for the specific cases of species counterpoint? In harmony I was taught that I IV and V and VIII are perfect consonances, III and VI imperfect consonances, II and VII dissonances.
Do the rules of motions (direct, contrary, oblique) apply from down beat to down beat(as if the second note on the upbeat does not exist) , or must orient themselves to the upbeat note and use the appropriate motion from the upbeat to down? I am aware of parallel perfect consonances on downbeats being bad, but I am not sure if that is due to their special nature of being perceived as a diminution. I hope that was at least a little understandable. Please help🤔🤔
That’s a good observation. I labeled the compound intervals as simple intervals for clarity and encourage students to do the same for precision when writing their own counterpoint. The intervals are the same by octave equivalence, so remembering which intervals are consonant and which are dissonant is easier when you only have one set to remember.
I'm struggling to upload an image with the right ratio. If you send me your email address, I'll send you a screen shot of a good example of 2nd species. Thanks!
Thank you, I found all your videos on counterpoint verrrry helpful!
My theory teacher tells me to follow these rules while my composition teacher tells me to break them
The rules pertain to your understanding of Western Art Music, whereas your new 21st century composition has no limits!

@@hugoclarke3284 That's why it's called music theory and not music fact.
You learn the rules to break them and create your own sound
There are problems with measure 5 and 6 on the downbeat!
Yes, the parallel octaves are not allowed.

Perfect fourth is a dissonance and it's the weakest of all dissonance
thank you from Russia
Thank you, Dr. Meyer!
Please you have any videos about free contrpoint
Hello. Thank's for this
am i crazy or is there a mistake in the 3rd measure? the Eb above the Bb is a 4th. Not a major 6th. And it leaves by leap. this isn't allowed. Right?
You’re not crazy! Good catch on that fourth and the leaping from a dissonance!
She made the same mistake already in the previous video.
@@MartinSchommer To err is human, especially when making counterpoint videos!
helpful video thank you!

I may have gotten some more clarity but help is still welcome.
Dr. Kati Meyer... yes thank you that was very helpful.
Awesome! Can’t wait for the third species! 🤓
Its been a while, huh...
I might be wrong but I think the m10 in the third last bar from Eb to G should be a M10
can you also make 18th C. chorale guidelines and rules?
Very helpful video thank you
Noob here, you have compound interval in the third measure, but in the 1 and 2 measure i don’t see compound signatures. Thank you

Great channel.
Could you show us what the correct answer would look like?
