Compound Cadence in Three Parts (3rd position)

The same progressions work with the upper voices rearranged so the tenor Clausula is in the top part and the Discant Clausula in the middle part

This also works with the moving bass

If both upper parts are syncopated we end up with a 6/4 suspension in the middle of the bar.

This also works with the moving bass 1-3-5-5-1 (do mi sol sol do).

Practice these in all major and minor keys using Keyboard Buddy (unit 1-5)
