I like Zarlino wagging his finger at Monteverdi. Artusi would be happy.
It feels like I'm doing something illegal watching this video - I can't believe such a concise and well-edited video like this can be found on youtube for free.
As someone who's about to start studying classical guitar and composition after summer I'm happy to have found this channel!
I am smarter than I was 18 minutes ago.
Note to self:
3:21 (3:39) Contrapuntal Seed
4:25 (4:44) Adding Ornaments
5:14 (5:37) Adding More Voices (beginning of Three-Voice Imitation)
5:59 (6:51) Parallel Motion
7:56 (8:08) With both Parallel Voices
8:26 (8:51) With Curated Parallel Voices
9:04 (9:25) A with Bp as a Duo
13:10 (13:56) Nudge A and B one quarter backwards (Syncopation)
14:06 (14:12) Adding in Syncopated B also
14:24 All 6 voices combined
Elam, Peter Schubert, & Robert Gjerdingen should be the head music teachers of all of America
This episode cleared away so much of the mystery surrounding contrapuntal techniques. As someone who likes to write music every now and then, I'm grateful to you for your explanation. This may be my favorite video from your channel, and that's saying something!
....... just when you think the animated illustration couldn't get anymore awesome..... thanks dr. Elam & prof. Peter 👊 👊 🎵 🙂
Exactly, the graphics here are worth a million lessons :) ❤
@@dibaldgyfm9933 👊 right?! i did say if this was done with doodly i'd get it today!!! 😉
Most concise, well researched and erudite channel on this whole website. Can’t believe this information is free. Amazing
Me: this title is a clickbait
Monteverdi: hold my beer
Elam: drink it
Me: I need more
Without doubt, the best on RUclips or anywhere! Grateful!!
This really is just musical analysis at it’s best. So well explained, and I now walk away with another tool in my musical arsenal. Bravo
This is great stuff Elam
Very evil muahahahaha
Strettastic!
Oh, it’s just utter brilliance - such advanced music has really simple roots and seeds. Logic, skills and musicality!
Wow, just had goosebumps when the cantus firmus began! As always, an awesome episode, thanks, Elam! Greetings from Brazil.
Such a pleasure to be taught by such a wonderful teacher. Thank you!
Very nice and well explained hypothesis. The sequence repetition in fact allows this kind of behaviour and expansion, opposed to the more puzzle-like fugas of late baroque composers as Bach. Congratulations for the approach.
The videos are getting better and better - clearer and exposing things by step. I wish I'd paid more attention in undergrad counterpoint!
Oh okay this was something I was doing for compositional exercises without realising it for synthwave stuff. Thank you so much, I can now develop this further for Harpsichord compositions using this as a starting point! Wonderful channel! :)
I have been studying composition for about 1 year and I am finally starting to see how music is sculpted rather than just bursting into existence, this video really demonstrates that :) awesome
Thanks Elam!
What gorgeous recordings! I was at first simply amazed at how simple, but effective technique was at the beginning, but holy sh!t the more and more examples you provided, I was starting to be completely blown away by how intricate but perfect(?) it sounds. I usually thought I preferred faster renditions of those Monteverdi clips, but holy crap. So far, it's this technique that has most reminded me of "the music of the spheres".
Hello Elam
I really appreciate your channel, and all the knowledge you share with us.
It is refreshing to be able to partake of the beauty of all your efforts which enrich our lives.
Please, keep up the excellent work you do.
Blessings;
Stan, from Canada.
Brilliant! I’m always excited to see a new EMS video in my feed. And I’m always astounded by your excellent production values, as well as your ability to effectively and entertainingly communicate what is often very complex subject matter.
Doing the Lord's work! Thanks so much. The best specialised educational channel on youtube
Wonderful. I admire and learn a great deal from all of your work. Thank you!
The syncopated version occurs almost "neumatim" in Contrapuntus V from Bach's Art of Fugue!
You mean this one? ruclips.net/video/Lek6krq08sE/видео.html
@@Zawiedek Yes, right after the 2:00 mark, and then again, motu contrario, at about 2:30
Thank you so much. Amazing work as always.
Instant Monteverdi!
Your enthusiasm, clarity and dedication are a joy to watch. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing all this, Elam. You don't know how fortunate I feel for having this knowledge explained in such an accessible way
Brilliant. Thanks so much!
I can't believe how quickly 18 minutes flew by. I was enjoying every moment. Thank you!
you are excellent, thank you very much
È bellissima spiegazione.🥲🙏✨
Tanti complimenti e vi ringrazio!!!
Whaaat ! This is a tour de force of synthetis !!! I now feel that I can write any stretto that I want that's incredible !
So, with every video we are closer to Die Kunst der Fugue :)
Great video, thank you. Love from Serbia!!
Brilliant video. Concise, understandable and allowing the joy of the music to cut through the technical explanations!
You just have to love Monteverdi's vocal works; they are just so beautiful.
Ah, another reason to adore Monteverdi's music!
Another awesome video. What I would like to see in a future episode is how this develops into the fugue form that we all know and love.
absolutely, top notch!!
I'm bingewathing your movies... in no particular order. And I'm fascinating by those bottles behind ... varying in colour, degree of emptiness and strengths :)
I'm monitoring their fluctuation from one video to another and I do envy your liver!!!! :) :) :)
Cheers!
Amazing! How pleasant it is to find such a revealing analysis of elements that made me smile with joy when I sang Montervedi's Magnificat as a young man. I can't thank you enough!
That's awesome! I've been wondering how fuga works for a long time, thanks for shedding light on it!
Fantastic!! And very well put together video :)
I like all your videos. This one is the king of them. Thank you.
Brilliant as usual. Your point about this not being found in the sources is interesting. I wonder how modern this sort of "algorithmic thinking" about music actually is.
Mr. Rotem, if I were a rich man, you could bet you'd have a very generous patron!
Ah, how I love the effect of stretto fuga.
Well done! And isn't it so wonderful, so completely magical, that this music moves us even now, more than four hundred years later - listening, I got that peculiar and special shiver that one gets from truly excellent music.
Amazing information. Thank you very much
Thank you Dr. Elam & Prof. Peter. Much Appreciated.
Congratulations for the content and clear presentation. You are great, guys!
Thank you so much for your work
Fantastic, as always, thanks so much
I admit I was expecting you to go to Bach's Kunst der Fuge, Cp IV, to point out the two stretto sections there. Having heard your excellent explanation, those bars make even more sense as an homage to much older compositional practices.
This was excellent, really interesting.
Gosh, where were you two, when I was studying cp 35 years ago?? School would have have been way more fun!! Thank you!!🌺
Illuminating!
Me: this title is a clickbait
Monteverdi: hold my beer
Elam: drink it
Me: I need more
My jaw literally dropped at 14:40.
Great Video.
And the PDF is also very clear
Many thanks!
One of your best videos, Elam. It only took me 3 months to get to it, but thank you!
Incredible! Thank you so much EMS for the information you provide.
You have really outdone yourselves this time. Thank you so much!
Another absolutely delightful video. Thanks so much. You've packed so much fascinating information into this episode that I expect to be studying this video for some time to come. Thanks so much!
Thank you for the videos, and the PDF. It is gold.
Excellent introduction. Thanks for the beginners' guide. Very useful for me indeed.
This is fantastic stuff. Thank you so much, please keep it coming! ;)
Wow! This is brilliantly put together. Thank you for your efforts to make it so crystal clear.
Your animated scores are illuminating!!!
Love it! Thanks for another very enjoyable episode! : D I will now look up the gorgeous version of the Vespers. . .
Dear Elam - once more: What a great, wonderful piece of work! So entertaining, so inspiring. So easy to follow, and yet deeply profound. And so well presented! Thank you (and all your helpers/colleges) very, very much! 🙏Benno
Thank you for this. I am so grateful, and inspired to try it!
The 1610 Vespers are one of my favourite pieces ever written; it was wonderful to learn more about compositional techniques used there! The stretto fugue method as used here seems familiar- is it also used by Monteverdi in the prologue of Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria, when Human Frailty sings 'quel mi combatte', with similar counterpoint between voice and bassline?
this chanel is brilliant.
your channel has been so enlightening for me, thank you
The part where the CF begins is a religious experience, I burst to tears
The pdf is amazing!! And your channel is one of my favorite 🙏💓
Bedankt
Very valuable information ..thank you.. . I will incorporate this form in some of my composition as an experiment…diamond in the sand 🙏🙏🏿
I have been waiting for this for a long time.
Thank you so much. Very helpful!
I mostly compose Jazz but find great interest in what you have presented, can see how I can use some of these ideas in a modern Jazz context.
Wow... I loved this vídeo!! ❤Thanks for every second you have spend on doing it! Congratulations 👏👏👏👏
Slightly old video so I don't know if you'll see this but thank you very much for this! I've been writing an undergraduate paper on fugal voice-leading and this is super interesting!
This is awesome! I’m totally trying this out!
Thank you for sharing! I have been looking for it. Спасибо!
Such a great illustration. Thanks!!
Really good episode! Thank you, Elam & consortes!
Getting a "MIDI chord pack" -advertisment in the middle of watching this raises some mixed feelings.
I love the fuga form; it’s my favorite. I don’t care for post-baroque forms much at all.
Brilliant!
Peter Schubert! His channel is amazing.
Very interesting and useful!!!
Absolutely awesome! Thank you so much for this!
briljant!
Fantastico, illuminato. Grazie!
very cool!
Great video, Elam! I appreciate you, your channel, your team, and your knowledge immensely.
This is gorgeous
