Fugue of Birth and Death (for organ) | Original Composition in E♭-Minor
Музыка
Noteworthy features of this fugue:
→ the first answer in the exposition starts a sixth lower instead of a fourth, the second answer starts a fourth higher, and only the third answer starts a fifth higher
→ every episode has a different time signature from the rest of the piece
→ at 1:32, there is a crab canon (aka retrograde canon or canon cancrizans), meaning the subject is layed against itself backwards (marked light blue)
→ there are several entries of the inverted subject (marked green), the first one at 2:20
→ the episode starting at 2:48 is based on the augmentation of the subject (marked in violet)
→ the stretti starting at 3:06 are very close, the closest ones entering only one beat after the previous entry
The fugue has five parts and is written for one player.
This is the very first piece I’ve ever written for the organ.

Have a nice day! (:

I’m curious: what is a fugue you love by a composer other than Bach? Here is one I can’t stop listening to: kzread.info/dash/bejne/o6mFmqiHlLrMoJs.htmlsi=sCquiNc9ihm_MF3w

@@averynhiell Very good composition! I have a question - did you use Musescore 4 for this fugue? I'm using it now and the organ doesn't sound anywhere near as rich as this.

@@sammyc3720 Thanks a lot! (= This is in MuseScore 3 (the instrument is called “Church Organ 2”). But you can change the instrument to “Church Organ 2” in MuseScore 4 as well, which sounds similarly rich. You can find it when you look in the mixer under “sound”, where you have to go to “soundfonts” and then to “Organs”. Hope this helps. (:
