Description
Excerpt from Counterpoint: Strict and Free
Here every rule of harmony is observed, and the passage is perfectly correct. But if the different voices be examined singly, it will be seen that there iss very little melody, and almost no individuality about them. The Soprano and tenor parts each lie within the compass of a minor third, while the alto consists entirely of two notes. Such a passage, however correct as harmony, can scarcely be called counterpoint.
