Canon composition project, phase 1 (the analysis part)

We will write canons for ear training class, starting on Wednesday and finishing on Friday. The first step will be to analyze canons that we have already performed in class, which we will discuss on Wednesday.

Choose two canons from the textbook (from any chapter up to 9). For your canons, be ready to explain how and why they work as canons. This will include at minimum, a roman numeral analysis, but you will probably have something else to say as well regarding melodic rhythm, motives, embellishing tones, or other musical factors.
