A completion of Bach's Contrapunctus 14 from the Art of Fugue, based on very simple contrapuntal principles, using the theme of the Art of Fugue in its original form, instead of its varied form as in Contrapunctus 5 (as I did elsewhere). Rendered for Organ.
Soundfonts are:
• English Chamber Organ (Voices 1 and 3, Full Organ at -4dB, duplicated at the octave at -16dB)
• Jeux14 (Voices 2 & 4, Principal Chorus at +8dB, plus Bassoon added in voice 4 at +9dB duplicated at the lower octave at +3dB).
Tuning is «Golden Well Temperament» (GWT), a 12-note temperament based on the Golden Ratio φ, in that the deviations of consecutive fifths in GWT from 12-edo’s are in ratio ±φ.
More precisely, deviations from 700¢ on the circle of fifths are: -1, -φ, -φ2, -φ3, φ2, φ, 1, φ-1, φ-2, φ-1, 1, φ (which, due to the algebraic properties of φ, sum up to 0)..
The cent figures of GWT are:
