counterpoint - lesson 12: four parts

When I found out that there isn't anything about counterpoint on youtube, I thought it would have been nice to upload an INTRODUCTION TO THE ART OF COUNTERPOINT. It wasn't prepared, so it's a bit slow and there are a few mistakes here and there, but if you are interested in approaching counterpoint these videos will help you a lot. Unfortunately in some of the videos I had problems recording my computer screen, so the audio is a bit late. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the lessons!

ugly counterpoint, I'm sorry. There are mistakes, many mistakes. You have to buy a good manual of counterpoint and you have to study it. The fourth did not bind (bar 2 fourth quarter oboe) and so on. You have to study.

Mr. Pino, I enjoy constructive feedback and yours is not. I have a lot of good counterpoint manuals and have studied them deeply. Before commenting you should read the video description ("it wasn't prepared...there are a few mistakes..."). If you can improvise florid four voice counterpoint without "mistakes" you should become a teacher (I'm not, just a simple musician).

Anyway my favourite composer is Magister Perotinus Magnus and I really can't get rid of medieval habits in my counterpoint ;)

Sorry if this a weird question, but shoud the use of a minor or C major be used? as you have stated, counterpoint is the use of melodies, a minor and C major are observations of harmony. So would one need to examine the intervalic relationships with each the other lines? or is the relationship with the cantos firmus the important observation?
