The Magic Table That Lets You Compose Canons Over A Cantus Firmus (1596)

Beautiful presentation. (And I cannot stress enough how crucial the dancing skeleton was to aid my understanding)

Thank you for this amazing episode. For me, this channel is life-changing.

This is a great companion to Peter Schubert's canonic methods. Thank you!

You are something else man, thank you for this information!

"The way how the table works is quite simple". IT"S NOT ~ the above is the summary of how Early music works.

I wrote my bachelor thesis in 2010 on possibilities in improvised two-part canons to make a proper cadence at the end of it by using specific phrases through the leader to indicate the end of the canon for the follower.

Thank you Elam for including the score to the opening jingle! I have been trying to learn it by ear for some time, but now I can finally play it!

“…let’s see how it works and how you could also use it to create fancy canons.” [Seamlessly cuts to a commercial playing “I’ll stop the world and melt with you”] 😂

It took this channel, after more than twenty years of watching the show, to make me realize that Professor Farnsworth is the only character whose picture is immediately and automatically associated with a single phrase. I plan to write a guide on this subject that will still be debated four hundred years from now. The lower Farnsworth starts with a befuddled, "What?", the middle Farnsworth responds with either an "Oh you!" or an "I am already in my pyjamas", the upper Farnsworth gives a high-pitched laugh, and then all of them resolve in a perfect authentic "good news, everyone."

Fabulous, thank you. I had to learn Palestrina's style from Knud Jeppeson's book during my bachelor's degree. Now I'm inspired tonight to try Bathe's table!

Thank you so much for this episode! It would be very interesting to learn more about the change from 6 to 4 syllable solfege in England. And you've inspired me to see about making a derivative chart for placing the cantus firmus above the canon now.

Dear Elam, thank you so much for this. I've been hoping you'd do something about early English music for years, and this was so much more interesting and useful than I imagined! What a fascinating tool, can't wait to try.

Elam, thank you for another masterclass! This episode could be a wonderful segway to Costanzo Festa's 125 counterpoints on La Spagna. I would love to see an episode where you dissect his counterpoints! Please do consider! =)

This was so well done!

Fantastic work and presentation, I'll definitely give this a try!

Ahhh! The basket of vegetables that shows up on the table behind Elam.🤣

Thank you for your work!!!

Thank you so much! This is amazing.

These/this episode(s) are/is so much fun! Thanks.

Great as always, Elam!
