Three-Voice Pentatonic Canon at the 4th above and below.
As I stated on Saturday, combining major pentatonic scales a fifth or fourth apart gives a set of pitches contained in the major (heptatonic) scale.
If we combine a pentatonic with one a fourth above and another a fourth below, we get the complete diatonic set.
Here the dux is C major pentatonic -- C, D, E, G, A
Comes I is F major pentatonic -- F, G, A, C, D
Comes II is G major pentatonic -- G, A, B, C, D
The complete set of pitches is C, D, E, F, G, A, B (C major)
