(musicComp1) counterpoint assignment

Complete the worksheet I handed out in class (First and Second Species Counterpoint). Due 4/8 or 4/9.

For the first melody, change the first C5 to a Bb4.

I realize that I told the T/Th class I wouldn’t assign this until Tuesday, but given that you have done some first and second species counterpoint in your music theory classes I think you should be able to complete this exercise.

I have some previous posts on counterpoint that should help.
