Hello Lounge,
I have made a species counterpoint analysis video with Dorico Pro, to help counterpoint students check through the elements in their exercises and compositions.
See: Analyzing Your Counterpoint: 3-Part, 5th Species [w/ Olympus Elements]
Know Your Counterpoint // 3-Part, 5th Species [Analysis] - YouTube
After analyzing, I include playthroughs of each line, and eventually the whole piece - to take mental note of the analysis points aurally in general. You can apply these analysis elements in 2, 3, or 4 parts, and virtually across the species (although, for example, you won’t analyze dissonances in 1st species).
This analysis assumes you understand, or are getting to know some of the counterpoint terminology - there are resources linked in the video description to help, where the PDF from the analysis is also available.
Sections of the video include: Working with C Clefs, Character of Melody, Leaps and Compensation, [Play-through] - Single Line Melodies, Dissonances (Including suspensions), Cadence, and [Play-through] - All voices
Please share it with those studying species counterpoint who may find this useful, and let me know of questions, and/or have feedback. Cheers!
