Gragan Canon (7.30)

 7.30 is in D Major. There are few embellishing tones, but the skips are mostly within each triad. It is 12 measures in total, but the voices align to make up a three bar phrase. The voices often move together.

White Analysis (Canon 8.6)

 

Example 8.6 is a canon written for four voices in the key of G major. The progression was slightly unusual in that it started on a V7 chord, but also in that the second beat in the second and third voices was identified as a iii chord. There were some dissonant moments (the E in beat one of part four), mostly through the use of passing tones and neighbor notes. The example end on a I chord. 

Lily's Canon Analysis(8.42)

 Canon 8.42 voices mostly highlight diatonic chords throughout the canon. The top voices stay in thirds the whole time, and the bottom voice will either double one of the top voices or complete the rest of the chord. The bottom voice has some embellishing tones but they're all diatonic. There aren't many skips, the largest being an octave but most are just thirds and the occasional 4th or 3rd.

Ramsey - Canon in Gb Major

  Exercise 9.14 is not the most difficult of canons to sing. A majority of the melody consist of repeating the same note and when it changes it is mos stepwise or in familiar and comfortable intervals like a third or fifth from Do to Sol and a perfect fourth from Sol to Do. The largest complications I forsee would be the quick coverage of an octave between measures five and six and the major seventh melodic interval that spans measures 6 and 7.

Jenkins Canon Analysis (9.15)

 Example 9.15 is in the key E major. Overall, the voices move in stepwise motion, with few leaps (Do-Sol and Sol-Fa). The length of the tonal areas is the common, simplistic way first introduced in class. In this case, however, the vii diminished chord is acting in place of the V chord. The rhythm of this example is repeated with basically every other measure being rhythmically similar. There was minimal rhythmic complexity, with quarter, eighth, and half notes in the majority. The embellishing tones used in this canon are frequently passing tones.

Kaylin canon 7.24 analysis

 

Kaitlyn Crow canon 8.23 analysis

Canon 8.23 by Schubert is in E Major, and it’s a 3 voice canon. The same chordal movement seems to take place every four measure, I - I - IV - I - I. This repeated movement helps to align the notes in the chords so there is never any dissonance. A majority of this piece is leaps between chord tones with a lot of passing tones added in.
