A treatise on strict counterpoint . :z22; 122 STRICT COUNTERPOINT, CHAPTER XIV. Two Voices in Florid Counterpoint. If the student has successfully grappled with the difficultexercises proposed in the foregoing Chapter, he will find hisreward in the comparative ease with which he will approach thetask of writing Two simultaneous Parts in the Fifth Order ofCounterpoint. The objects now to be attained are, (a) equally interestingMelody in both of the Parts, and (b) a fairly distributed share ofactivity in each. The idea of contrast should be ever present;and so, when one Part is moving briskly, the other will often bequiescent for the moment. Dotted Minims may be used, not only against Syncopation, butalso when the other Florid Part is active. Passing and Auxiliary Notes may be freely introduced, subjectto the following proviso :— When Two voices are moving conjunctly in Notes of unequaltime-value, one being a Crotchet and the other a Quaver, theFirst of the Two Quavers should form a Concord with theCrotchet, :—?. The next examples are faulty :— a WZ=jL ^=P -P= STRICT COUNTERPOINT. 123 The use of Four Quavers in a bar now becomes possible,provided that they make their appearance, Two at a time, indifferent voices and at different places in the bar. Here, for instance, is an effective Cadence : — U=-- m=^ =h=1 But Quavers should never appear in Two voices at a passage as the following, though not positively bad, iscertainly wanting in good taste : — i =t :ct 3 s *f 1 Examples of Two Parts in the Fifth Species.
