| | Song Story | The words may seem somewhat erudite but the result is both funny and educational!
| | Song Lyrics | Subject! Here`s the subject!
You`ll never have a fugue without a subject
And nothing fits it better than a countersubject
Now counterpoint.
We`ll fill in with some counterpoint
Syncopation at the cadence
And now that all have entered you can see how we come to the end of the exposition
And then the development comes with imitation adn little motives
Let`s have another episode
Let`s have it
and now in stretto
some filler - some counterpoint
What the name of the game is...
This enticing device is
What we took from the book is
What we chose to compose is augmentation
And finally we give you
As a very last iteration
The subject!
The proper way to end is with the subject
(Pedal point will bring our fugue unto its ultimate conclusion)
Amen
