Canon on Three Pentatonic scales.
I chose Comes I to enter a major third above the dux and Comes II to enter a major 6th above the dux (a perfect 4th above Comes I).
This gave me the following pitch material:
Dux -- C major pentatonic C D E G A
Comes I -- E major pentatonic E F# G# B C#
Comes II -- A major pentatonic A B C# E F#
But, I didn't treat them as being in these three keys. Since E is the common tone between these three scales I chose to use it as a tonal center. This makes the top two voices sound like they are in E major and the lowest voice sound like E phrygian.
Again, 1st species-style:
