 +
 +
  23123 3 1 3

  15772 5 1 5
 +
  15625 8 1 8
 +
 +
The most common is a repeated 3rd. 
 +
 +
=== Note attacks/sustains ===
 +
 +
Renaissance music is more polyphonic than Bach chorales, so it is better to indicate if the notes are attacked or sustained at each point in the module:
 +
 +
 +
oznin:chorales css$ cint  -R -O -x --raw  h://jrp/Jos | sortcount | head -n 10
 +
  13912 3xx -2 3xx

  7315 4xs 1 3sx
 +
  6932 3xx -2 4xs
 +
  6878 6sx 1 5sx
 +
  6537 6xx 1 5sx
 +
 +
With respect to note attacks/sustains, a falling parallel 3rd is the most common, followed by a rising parallel 3rd.
 +
 +
== Regular expressions ==
 +
 +
All parallel thirds in a chorale:
 +
 +
cint --raw chor001.krn  | grep "3 .* 3"  | sortcount
 +
10 3 -2 3
 +
10 3 2 3
 +

  cint -U --raw chor001.krn  | grep "3 .* 3"  | sortcount
 +
  10 3 2 3
 +
  10 3 -2 3

 +
  1 3xx 3 3xx
 +
  1 3xs -2 3xx
 +
  1 3xx 4 3xx
 +
 +
 +
Highlight modules which are parallel 3rds without repeats where both notes attack on the thirds:
 +
 +
  !!!filter: cint -U -x --search "3[sx]* .* 3[sx]*"
 +
 +
 +
[[File:parallel3rds.png|600px|center]]
 +
 +
 +
== Chained counterpoint modules ==
 +
 +
Sequences of modules can be extracted or searched for by using the -n option:
 +
 +
    cint --raw chor001.krn  -O -n 2 | head -n 10
 +
  3 8 3 -3 6
 +
  5 8 5 -3 8
 +
  8 8 8 -3 3
 +
  3 1 3 2 3
 +
  6 1 6 2 5
 +
  4 1 4 2 3
 +
  3 -3 6 1 5
 +
  5 -3 8 2 6
 +
  8 -3 3 2 6
 +
  3 2 3 -2 4
 +
 +
The -h option will put an "h" label on harmonic intervals (making it easier to read chains):
 +
 +
  cint --raw chor001.krn  -Oh -n 2 | head -n 10
 +
3h 8 3h -3 6h
 +
5h 8 5h -3 8h
 +
8h 8 8h -3 3h
 +
3h 1 3h 2 3h
 +
6h 1 6h 2 5h
 +
4h 1 4h 2 3h
 +
3h -3 6h 1 5h
 +
5h -3 8h 2 6h
 +
8h -3 3h 2 6h
 +
3h 2 3h -2 4h
 +
 +
Also the attack markers are only added to harmonic intervals, so -x will also make it easy to distinguish between harmonic and melodic intervals:
 +
 +
cint --raw chor001.krn  -Ox -n 2 | head -n 10
 +
3xx 8 3xx -3 6xx
 +
5xx 8 5xx -3 8xx
 +
8xx 8 8xx -3 3xs
 +
3xx 1 3xx 2 3xx
 +
6xx 1 6xx 2 5xs
 +
4xx 1 4xx 2 3xs
 +
3xx -3 6xx 1 5sx
 +
5xx -3 8xx 2 6xx
 +
8xx -3 3xs 2 6xx
 +
3xx 2 3xx -2 4xs
 +
 +
Given a harmonic interval of a 3rd between two notes (where both are attacking at the same time), what are the input and output voice motions for that interval?
 +
 +
cint --raw *.krn  -Ox -n 2  | grep " 3xx " | sortcount -p | head -n 10
 +
4.12 3xx 2 3xx 2 3xx
 +
2.57 3xx -2 3xx -2 3xx
 +
1.16 3xx -2 3xx -2 4xs
 +
1 3xx -2 3xx 2 3xx
 +
0.86 3xx 2 3xx -2 3xx
 +
0.81 2xs -2 3xx -2 4xs
 +
0.79 3xx 2 3xx 2 8xx
 +
0.78 3xx 2 3xx -2 4xs
 +
0.76 3xx 2 3xx 2 2xs
 +
0.73 3xx 2 3xx 1 4sx
 +
 +
The most common case is that the 3xx interval is in the middle of a sequence of parallel thirds rising by step.  The second most common is parallel thirds falling by step, and then the third most common cases is a falling stepwise parallel third followed by the lower note continuing down stepwise while the upper note remains sustained.
 +
 +
== Attack/sustain configurations for modules ==
 +
 +
Searching for cases where the module is "5 -2 6", but then segmenting into attack/sustain cases:
 +
 +
cint -x *.krn  --raw | egrep "^5[xs]+ -2 6[xs]+" | sortcount -p
 +
57.46 5xx -2 6xs
 +
17.06 5xs -2 6xs
 +
11.03 5xx -2 6xx
 +
9.23 5sx -2 6xs
 +
4.74 5xs -2 6xx
 +
0.49 5sx -2 6xx
 +
 +
 +
The most common case for the "5 -2 6" module is for the two notes to attack together, then the bottom note drops a step while the top voice remains sustained (happening 57% of the time).  The second most common cases is that the top note is sustained from a previous sonority while the lower voice is moving stepwise downwards through a fifth and then a sixth with the upper note.  The third most common case occurs when both note are attack on both harmonic intervals of the module.

chorck

Chorck is a Humdrum Extras tool for checking the part-writing syntax of chorales. documentation for the chork tool

Eight syntax rules are checked by the program, as defined in the music-theory textbook: . Tonal Harmony with an Introduction to Twentieth-Century Music by Stefan Kostka and Dorthy Payne:

  1. Parallel 5ths between two voices when moving to different pitch classes.
  2. Parallel Octaves between two voices when moving to different pitch classes.
  3. Contrary parallel 5ths -- when two voices move in parallel 5ths displaced by an octave. (such as an octave and a fifth going to a fifth)
  4. Unequal 5ths -- when the bass part and another voice move from dim 5ths to perfect 5ths or vice versa.
  5. Hidden 5ths -- when the soprano moves in similar motion with another voice and the soprano leaps to a perfect 5th with that voice.
  6. Hidden 8va -- when the soprano moves in similar motion with another voice and the soprano leaps to a perfect octave with that voice.
  7. Voice crossing -- when an inner voice goes above the soprano voice or below the bass voice.
  8. Open spacing -- when the interval between successive voices other than the bass exceeds an octave.

How many times does Bach violate the rules?

Is a parallel octave at a phrase boundary a rule violation?


cint

cint is a tool that extract counterpoint modules from polyphonic music. documentation for cint

It is a generalized tool related to chorck, which is a specialized tool.


Getting a list of counterpoint modules in a piece

cint --raw chor001.krn | head -n 10
10 8 3
12 8 5
15 8 8
3 1 3
6 1 6
4 1 4
3 -3 6
5 -3 8
8 -3 10
3 2 3

The most common modules in Bach chorales:

cint --raw *.krn | sortcount | head -n 10
3500	5 -2 6
3354	6 2 5
2867	3 -2 4
2838	4 -2 5
2735	6 -2 6
2579	5 1 6
2498	3 -2 3
2479	3 1 4
2436	3 2 3
2414	10 2 10

The -O option will collapse compound intervals such as "10 2 10" into "3 2 3" (10th is an octave plus a 3rd).

cint -O --raw *.krn | sortcount | head -n 10
5070	3 2 3
5033	6 2 5
4746	3 -2 4
4394	5 -2 6
4213	5 2 3
4088	3 -2 3
3943	2 -2 3
3833	4 -2 5
3346	3 1 4
3335	6 -2 6

The most common module in Bach chorales is a rising parallel 3rd "3 2 3"



parallel thirds

The three-interval counterpoint module for stepwise rising parallel thirds is "3 2 3". this can be done as a filter in VHV:

  !!!filter: cint -O --search "3 2 3"

The -O option collapses intervals greater than an octave to less than an octave, such as 10th (an octave plus a 3rd) being transposed to 3rds.

Josquin modules

What about in Josquin's music:

cint  -R -O --raw  h://jrp/Jos | sortcount | head -n 10

  23123	3 1 3
  19880	6 1 5
  19517	4 1 3
  19515	3 -2 3
  18545	3 2 3
  16389	3 -2 4
  15812	5 -2 6
  15784	5 1 6
  15772	5 1 5
  15625	8 1 8

The most common is a repeated 3rd.

Note attacks/sustains

Renaissance music is more polyphonic than Bach chorales, so it is better to indicate if the notes are attacked or sustained at each point in the module:


oznin:chorales css$ cint -R -O -x --raw h://jrp/Jos | sortcount | head -n 10

 13912	3xx -2 3xx
 13343	3xx 2 3xx
 8782	6sx -2 8xx
 7779	4sx 1 3sx
 7402	7xs 1 6sx
 7374	3xx 1 4sx
 7315	4xs 1 3sx
 6932	3xx -2 4xs
 6878	6sx 1 5sx
 6537	6xx 1 5sx

With respect to note attacks/sustains, a falling parallel 3rd is the most common, followed by a rising parallel 3rd.

Regular expressions

All parallel thirds in a chorale:

cint --raw chor001.krn  | grep "3 .* 3"  | sortcount
10	3 -2 3
10	3 2 3
3	3 1 3
1	3 4 3
1	3 3 3


Remove repeated note cases:

 cint -U --raw chor001.krn  | grep "3 .* 3"  | sortcount
 10	3 2 3
 10	3 -2 3
 1	3 4 3
 1	3 3 3

With note attack information

  cint -U -x --raw chor001.krn  | grep "3[sx]* .* 3[sx]*"  | sortcount
  7	3xx -2 3xx
  7	3xx 2 3xx
  3	3xs 2 3xx
  2	3sx -2 3xx
  1	3xx 3 3xx
  1	3xs -2 3xx
  1	3xx 4 3xx


Highlight modules which are parallel 3rds without repeats where both notes attack on the thirds:

  !!!filter: cint -U -x --search "3[sx]* .* 3[sx]*"


Parallel3rds.png


Chained counterpoint modules

Sequences of modules can be extracted or searched for by using the -n option:

   cint --raw chor001.krn  -O -n 2 | head -n 10
  3 8 3 -3 6
  5 8 5 -3 8
  8 8 8 -3 3
  3 1 3 2 3
  6 1 6 2 5
  4 1 4 2 3
  3 -3 6 1 5
  5 -3 8 2 6
  8 -3 3 2 6
  3 2 3 -2 4

The -h option will put an "h" label on harmonic intervals (making it easier to read chains):

  cint --raw chor001.krn  -Oh -n 2 | head -n 10
3h 8 3h -3 6h
5h 8 5h -3 8h
8h 8 8h -3 3h
3h 1 3h 2 3h
6h 1 6h 2 5h
4h 1 4h 2 3h
3h -3 6h 1 5h
5h -3 8h 2 6h
8h -3 3h 2 6h
3h 2 3h -2 4h

Also the attack markers are only added to harmonic intervals, so -x will also make it easy to distinguish between harmonic and melodic intervals:

cint --raw chor001.krn  -Ox -n 2 | head -n 10
3xx 8 3xx -3 6xx
5xx 8 5xx -3 8xx
8xx 8 8xx -3 3xs
3xx 1 3xx 2 3xx
6xx 1 6xx 2 5xs
4xx 1 4xx 2 3xs
3xx -3 6xx 1 5sx
5xx -3 8xx 2 6xx
8xx -3 3xs 2 6xx
3xx 2 3xx -2 4xs

Given a harmonic interval of a 3rd between two notes (where both are attacking at the same time), what are the input and output voice motions for that interval?

cint --raw *.krn  -Ox -n 2  | grep " 3xx " | sortcount -p | head -n 10
4.12	3xx 2 3xx 2 3xx
2.57	3xx -2 3xx -2 3xx
1.16	3xx -2 3xx -2 4xs
1	3xx -2 3xx 2 3xx
0.86	3xx 2 3xx -2 3xx
0.81	2xs -2 3xx -2 4xs
0.79	3xx 2 3xx 2 8xx
0.78	3xx 2 3xx -2 4xs
0.76	3xx 2 3xx 2 2xs
0.73	3xx 2 3xx 1 4sx

The most common case is that the 3xx interval is in the middle of a sequence of parallel thirds rising by step. The second most common is parallel thirds falling by step, and then the third most common cases is a falling stepwise parallel third followed by the lower note continuing down stepwise while the upper note remains sustained.

Attack/sustain configurations for modules

Searching for cases where the module is "5 -2 6", but then segmenting into attack/sustain cases:

cint -x *.krn  --raw | egrep "^5[xs]+ -2 6[xs]+" | sortcount -p
57.46	5xx -2 6xs
17.06	5xs -2 6xs
11.03	5xx -2 6xx 
9.23	5sx -2 6xs
4.74	5xs -2 6xx
0.49	5sx -2 6xx


The most common case for the "5 -2 6" module is for the two notes to attack together, then the bottom note drops a step while the top voice remains sustained (happening 57% of the time). The second most common cases is that the top note is sustained from a previous sonority while the lower voice is moving stepwise downwards through a fifth and then a sixth with the upper note. The third most common case occurs when both note are attack on both harmonic intervals of the module.
