Dear List, I'm trying to add divisions to La Rossignol and I appended the fruits of my labor. (Pls widen your window if the modified version wraps around.) I'm having problems with measure 3: for the 4th and 6th note I can (or maybe not ?) choose an e of an e-flat, which gives me four combinations to choose from. (Or five if you count not doing anything at all.) How do I make the choice? How do I know that what sounds right to me would have sounded right to Renaissance ears? Do the rules of hexachord mutations reduce the number of "valid" choices?
Thanks, Peter |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ | |\ | |\ | |\ | | | | | | | __d__c__a__c__d__c__d__f_ _h__f__d__c__a_______ ________________a_ ____a__c____ |_________________________|________________d__c_|_a__c__d__b__d____|_d________d_ |_________________________|_____________________|__________________|____________ |_________________________|_____________________|__________________|____________ |_________________________|_____________________|__________________|____________ |_________________________|_____________________|__________________|____________ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ | |\ | |\ | | |\ | | | | __d__c__a__c__d__c__d__f_ _h__f__h__f__d__c__a_______ ____________________________a_ ____a__c________________ _______a__c__d__a__f_ |_________________________|______________________d__c_|_a_____a__c__d__b__d__b__d____|_d________d__a__c__d__a_|_b__d________________ |_________________________|___________________________|____d_________________________|________________________|_____________________ |_________________________|___________________________|______________________________|________________________|_____________________ |_________________________|___________________________|______________________________|________________________|_____________________ |_________________________|___________________________|______________________________|________________________|_____________________ -- the next auto-quote is: You cannot play the Song of Freedom on an instrument of oppression.
