A three-voice canon in symmetrical enharmonic pentatonic.

Working on grading finals, this needed to be quick. It's in 1st species style.

A second elaboration of the May 6th canon.

For yesterday's elaboration, I used only pitches of the symmetrical enharmonic scale that I used to compose the original first-species canon.

Today -- a different approach. I used the original canon as a skeletal outline and elaborated with pitches from the D minor scale. You'll notice that the sym/enh/pent is a subset of D minor...

This is another first-species-style canon -- this one using the same scale as my May 3 canon.

I'll elaborate it tomorrow...

Another Symmetrical Enharmonic Scale

For this scale, I simply reversed the two tetrachords of the scale that I used for yesterday's canon.
