Song/Week: A Puzzle Cannon

I wrote this puzzle cannon around 10-years ago and it is not bad. Below are the instructions:

  • The opening line (below) is the alto.  The order of voices is alto, soprano II, tenor, soprano I and bass (it may work other ways, but I don’ bother to see if it was invertible);
  • The Da Capo symbol is where the voices enter;
  • The voices will either come in on tonic, subdominant or dominant;
  • The entries are tonal, not perfect (no chromaticism, don’t use any F#s or Bbs; just keep it in C Major, or if you want to think of it modally, Ionian);
  • Please excuse the cannon for not being perfect.




Give it a try!
