a video done by www.musanim.com
of one of my fugues at
www.davidchristian.net
This was done when I didn't truly understand the ins and outs of the form that well. Oftentimes, I used a natural ear to substitute for my shaky theory. Many of the gaffs were vetted by a friend of mine--a much better music theory nerd than I am, well, nerdy in other ways than I am perhaps. In any case, the end result you see here is the result of a lot of tinkering. Probably I should do some more, however I'll leave it for now.
There have been some requests: That i should write an "inversus" of this fugue (turning the voices upside down) Although, I have started such a fugue--and found that this puppy inverts very nicely--my shaky theory is not up to the task. Also There is a notion that it might be too short--that the development section should be longer and explore more combinations of the voices.
Both these ideas, and a few others, are very interesting, and I may try them at some future date. One minor note: In order to make this piece longer it adaptes to a "DC al fine" type of repeat structure very easily with the changing of only a few notes.
I'll leave it to you to figure out how to do that :)
