I like Zarlino wagging his finger at Monteverdi. Artusi would be happy.
I am smarter than I was 18 minutes ago.
It feels like I'm doing something illegal watching this video - I can't believe such a concise and well-edited video like this can be found on youtube for free.
As someone who's about to start studying classical guitar and composition after summer I'm happy to have found this channel!
Most concise, well researched and erudite channel on this whole website. Can’t believe this information is free. Amazing
Elam, Peter Schubert, & Robert Gjerdingen should be the head music teachers of all of America
Me: this title is a clickbait
Monteverdi: hold my beer
Elam: drink it
Me: I need more
This episode cleared away so much of the mystery surrounding contrapuntal techniques. As someone who likes to write music every now and then, I'm grateful to you for your explanation. This may be my favorite video from your channel, and that's saying something!
Ah, another reason to adore Monteverdi's music!
The part where the CF begins is a religious experience, I burst to tears
Note to self:
3:21 (3:39) Contrapuntal Seed
4:25 (4:44) Adding Ornaments
5:14 (5:37) Adding More Voices (beginning of Three-Voice Imitation)
5:59 (6:51) Parallel Motion
7:56 (8:08) With both Parallel Voices
8:26 (8:51) With Curated Parallel Voices
9:04 (9:25) A with Bp as a Duo
13:10 (13:56) Nudge A and B one quarter backwards (Syncopation)
14:06 (14:12) Adding in Syncopated B also
14:24 All 6 voices combined
Without doubt, the best on TH-cam or anywhere! Grateful!!
Strettastic!
This is great stuff Elam
Very evil muahahahaha
....... just when you think the animated illustration couldn't get anymore awesome..... thanks dr. Elam & prof. Peter 👊 👊 🎵 🙂
Exactly, the graphics here are worth a million lessons :) ❤
@@dibaldgyfm9933 👊 right?! i did say if this was done with doodly i'd get it today!!! 😉
Wow, just had goosebumps when the cantus firmus began! As always, an awesome episode, thanks, Elam! Greetings from Brazil.
Oh, it’s just utter brilliance - such advanced music has really simple roots and seeds. Logic, skills and musicality!
Such a pleasure to be taught by such a wonderful teacher. Thank you!
Hello Elam
I really appreciate your channel, and all the knowledge you share with us.
It is refreshing to be able to partake of the beauty of all your efforts which enrich our lives.
Please, keep up the excellent work you do.
Blessings;
Stan, from Canada.
I'm bingewathing your movies... in no particular order. And I'm fascinating by those bottles behind ... varying in colour, degree of emptiness and strengths :)
I'm monitoring their fluctuation from one video to another and I do envy your liver!!!! :) :) :)
Cheers!
What gorgeous recordings! I was at first simply amazed at how simple, but effective technique was at the beginning, but holy sh!t the more and more examples you provided, I was starting to be completely blown away by how intricate but perfect(?) it sounds. I usually thought I preferred faster renditions of those Monteverdi clips, but holy crap. So far, it's this technique that has most reminded me of "the music of the spheres".
So, with every video we are closer to Die Kunst der Fugue :)
Great video, thank you. Love from Serbia!!
The videos are getting better and better - clearer and exposing things by step. I wish I'd paid more attention in undergrad counterpoint!
Oh okay this was something I was doing for compositional exercises without realising it for synthwave stuff. Thank you so much, I can now develop this further for Harpsichord compositions using this as a starting point! Wonderful channel! :)
Doing the Lord's work! Thanks so much. The best specialised educational channel on youtube
Ah, how I love the effect of stretto fuga.
Wonderful. I admire and learn a great deal from all of your work. Thank you!
Mr. Rotem, if I were a rich man, you could bet you'd have a very generous patron!
Instant Monteverdi!
I have been studying composition for about 1 year and I am finally starting to see how music is sculpted rather than just bursting into existence, this video really demonstrates that :) awesome
È bellissima spiegazione.🥲🙏✨
Tanti complimenti e vi ringrazio!!!
Thanks Elam!
Very nice and well explained hypothesis. The sequence repetition in fact allows this kind of behaviour and expansion, opposed to the more puzzle-like fugas of late baroque composers as Bach. Congratulations for the approach.
Brilliant! I’m always excited to see a new EMS video in my feed. And I’m always astounded by your excellent production values, as well as your ability to effectively and entertainingly communicate what is often very complex subject matter.
Your enthusiasm, clarity and dedication are a joy to watch. Thank you.
I can't believe how quickly 18 minutes flew by. I was enjoying every moment. Thank you!
Really good episode! Thank you, Elam & consortes!
Amazing stuff, as usual: keep up the good work!
You just have to love Monteverdi's vocal works; they are just so beautiful.
As always, absolutely amazing!! Thank you very much!!
Absolutely awesome! Thank you so much for this!
Incredible! Thank you so much EMS for the information you provide.
Gosh, where were you two, when I was studying cp 35 years ago?? School would have have been way more fun!! Thank you!!🌺
This is fantastic stuff. Thank you so much, please keep it coming! ;)
Fantastic information! I’ve learned a lot!
Fantastic, as always, thanks so much
I love your channel. Such a wonderful way to learn about history and theory of music.
Thanks for sharing all this, Elam. You don't know how fortunate I feel for having this knowledge explained in such an accessible way
your channel has been so enlightening for me, thank you
Brilliant! Thank you!
I like all your videos. This one is the king of them. Thank you.
Congratulations for the content and clear presentation. You are great, guys!
You have really outdone yourselves this time. Thank you so much!
Amazing video, great content and great editing too! Im glad I found this channel today :)
Thank you for the videos, and the PDF. It is gold.
That's awesome! I've been wondering how fuga works for a long time, thanks for shedding light on it!
Such a great illustration. Thanks!!
Love it! Thanks for another very enjoyable episode! : D I will now look up the gorgeous version of the Vespers. . .
absolutely, top notch!!
Thank you so much. Amazing work as always.
This is awesome! I’m totally trying this out!
Thank you for sharing! I have been looking for it. Спасибо!
Thank you Dr. Elam & Prof. Peter. Much Appreciated.
Thank you for this. I am so grateful, and inspired to try it!
I have been waiting for this for a long time.
Another awesome video. What I would like to see in a future episode is how this develops into the fugue form that we all know and love.
Thank you very much. You have helped Am musicality tremendously!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic!! And very well put together video :)
Absolutelly impressive. Bravi!
The pdf is amazing!! And your channel is one of my favorite 🙏💓

Another absolutely delightful video. Thanks so much. You've packed so much fascinating information into this episode that I expect to be studying this video for some time to come. Thanks so much!
Brilliant. Thanks so much!
As always: musical gold :3
This is gorgeous
One of your best videos, Elam. It only took me 3 months to get to it, but thank you!
Whaaat ! This is a tour de force of synthetis !!! I now feel that I can write any stretto that I want that's incredible !
This was excellent, really interesting.
Wow! This is brilliantly put together. Thank you for your efforts to make it so crystal clear.
Your animated scores are illuminating!!!
Excellent video! You got a fan! 💪👏👏👏
Brilliant video. Concise, understandable and allowing the joy of the music to cut through the technical explanations!
Brilliant as usual. Your point about this not being found in the sources is interesting. I wonder how modern this sort of "algorithmic thinking" about music actually is.
Amazing! How pleasant it is to find such a revealing analysis of elements that made me smile with joy when I sang Montervedi's Magnificat as a young man. I can't thank you enough!
Wonderful!!
Thank you so much for this! I hadn't listened to Monteverdi's Vespers before, and that combined with your expert teaching has inspired me to begin writing my own renaissance-style mass. Thanks again from Australia!
Thanks mr. Rotem,
very interesting subject and very well done.
all the best
wonderful !! great content
Wow... I loved this vídeo!! ❤Thanks for every second you have spend on doing it! Congratulations 👏👏👏👏
Great Video.
And the PDF is also very clear
Many thanks!
Fantastico, illuminato. Grazie!
this chanel is brilliant.
Well done! And isn't it so wonderful, so completely magical, that this music moves us even now, more than four hundred years later - listening, I got that peculiar and special shiver that one gets from truly excellent music.
Excellent introduction. Thanks for the beginners' guide. Very useful for me indeed.
Very interesting and useful!!!
Very valuable information ..thank you.. . I will incorporate this form in some of my composition as an experiment…diamond in the sand 🙏🙏🏿
Getting a "MIDI chord pack" -advertisment in the middle of watching this raises some mixed feelings.
you are excellent, thank you very much
Bravissimo!
