Having gained an understanding of how canons work through analyzing several examples, you are now ready to compose your own canon! This will be handed in on Monday. I will copy all the canons and distribute them to the class.
Your
canon should have at least three different voice parts that enter at equal time intervals (that is, if Voice 2 comes in two measures after Voice 1, then Voice 3 should come in two measures after Voice 2, and so on). Follow a harmonic progression of your choice; any embellishing tones
should match up together. You may choose the key, clef, and time
signature. Your canon needs to be singable (by you and the class). I will include it on your hearing.
Please write your canon legibly, to facilitate performance by your classmates. Feel free to give it a clever title.
This assignment will be counted as part of the "Other" category listed on the syllabus.
