Fifth Species counterpoint is fun! I like writing melodies, and I realize how much I love suspensions. Maybe in part because of the way the system is set up,1 I use them a lot. Anyways, despite2 missing two days this week, I still feel ready to move on to First Species with Three Voices. Exciting wow. Rules
Only Whole notes
Consonance is defined against the lowest pitch
Upper two voices allow consonances, P4, tritone
Try to have mostly triad voicing
Woo! Let’s have some fun.
