LESSON XIX

FIFTH SPECIES


[Illustration: Fig. 126.]

No suggestions other than have already been given for two- and three-part
counterpoint are necessary for this species.

To canti firmi _a_ and _b_ write fifth species in one part. Write each
three times, as usual.

LESSON XXI

COMBINING THE VARIOUS SPECIES

EXERCISES


Write one eight-measure phrase each, of the following combinations: (1)
2nd, 3rd and 4th species (Fig. 130a); (2) 2nd, 3rd and fifth species (_b_)
(3) 3rd, 5th and 5th species (_c_); (4) 2nd, 4th and 5th species (_d_); (5)
4th, 5th and 5th species (_e_).

[Illustration: Fig. 130.]




LESSON XXII

FIFTH SPECIES IN ALL PARTS

EXERCISES


Write five eight-measure phrases with fifth species in all parts, making
use of imitation at the beginning as in Fig. 131. The imitation need only
be relative and continue for three or four notes. It is also well, when a
part uses a striking melodic figure, to have some other part imitate it
immediately after.
