I was sick and bored today, so I ended up instrumentating five 3-part excercises I wrote earlier in the contrapunctal style of Palestrina (the goal, so to say, of species counterpoint for those familiar with it). Plenty of canon-like imitations, both at the octave and at the duodecima in double (invertible) counterpoint going on :)

Felt silly splitting them up as they're so short so I made one upload for them all. Hope you enjoy them despite the short length!

Considering that I've gotta be acquainted to some degree with Palestrina, Thomas Tallis and chant in general, I appreciate these things. :D

Why not try joining them together to make one full piece? I know that these are studies, but one could do with a full-blown contrapuntal piece when there are very few of them around.

descara responds:

I thought about joining them together, but I figured since I'm supposed to do a Kyrie Eleison sooner or later I'll wait until then with making a whole piece in the style of Palestrina. Plus, I was lazy :P
