1st Species Counterpoint in 2-Parts: LYDIAN Mode

Greetings, Everyone! Welcome to our ongoing exposé on Gradus ad Parnassum, by Johann Fux’. That Latin treatise, published in 1725, is PUBLIC DOMAIN in our day – copyright-free. Our next example of Two-Part, First Species Counterpoint, moves the Final of the Cantus Firmus [CF] to the note F, popularly referred to as “Lydian Mode.” Observe the new location of the semitones: between scale degrees 4-5, and 7-8. Let’s examine this “Lydian” scale, ascending and descending. One of three major modes, the Lydian sound is distinguished by its raised fourth scale degree, making it even more “major” than the ordinary “major” scale. Let’s listen! [mus] Bear in mind that the fourth degree of Lydian mode allows for an optional musica ficta – [...] Creating a Balanced Line (VIDEO):    • Creating a Balanced Line - Cantus Firmus, ...   2-Part, First Species, Lower Counterpoint (VIDEO):    • 2-Part, First Species, Lower Counterpoint ...   Counterpoint: From the Beginning (PLAYLIST):    • Counterpoint: From the Beginning   IMAGES, order of appearance – Johann Joseph Fux, By Nikolaus Buck, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...
