Study in Counterpoint Theory 6

Author Comments

Greetings, here is my 6th composition based around my studies of counterpoint theory. This one was intended to be a more choral piece and I hope that you all agree with that notion. Anyway, comments are always welcomed.

Well

If you are intended to create some traditional counterpoint (like bach - if this was your intention) you should get rid of all those consecutive fifths. As you know they are forbidden in the strict harmonic movement (i hope its the correct word in english), unless there arent any other options. Also the principle of counterpoint itself - moving the notes against each other, is something you should regard, especially for avoiding the consecutive fifths.
If you want some more baroque-sounding you should try to create some "always-busy"state ... more movent in the middle voice(s), ongoing harmony without stop and stuff like that.

As for a choral - i think its better using all 4 voices(to get some more full sounding), but thats maybe a personal choise.

And if you want to get a more nicer sound, you shouldnt use so much reverb (especially no "music school room"-like reverb :) ) and have some dynamic and tempo alterations (even if the tempochanges are only little).
I dont really know what i could add - its pretty short .. so ...

I give you a score of 6 and a vote of 3 - go on studying !
