Analyzing Your Counterpoint: 3-Part, 5th Species
As a counterpoint student or composer, learning and working with these analysis elements will improve your work in species exercises and composition in general.
You can apply these analysis points in 2, 3, or 4 parts, and virtually across the species (although, for example, you won't analyze dissonances in 1st species). This analysis is done according to the Renaissance style as taught in the Jeppesen text, modeled after Palestrina and contemporaries.
This analysis assumes you understand, or are getting to know some of the counterpoint terminology - there are resources linked in the video description to help.
