Complete the worksheet. Use only the allowed two-voice first-species consonances above the bass. Strive for an optimization and a balance among the priorities of 1) completeness of triads, 2) smoothness of all three lines, and 3) independence of voices (since contrary motion cannot be achieved with all pairs of voices, strive to have it in particular between the outer voices). Use voice crossing minimally, if you need to do so at all. Do not fret over similar motion to a perfect consonance: now that perfect consonances are generally accompanied by imperfect consonances in three-voice writing, and you cannot have contrary motion in all three voices, it makes sense that this rule, while important in two-voice writing, would take a back seat when writing for more than two voices.

You must use the clefs given -- transcriptions into other clefs will not be accepted. Although these exercises are notated in 2/1, treat each whole note as a downbeat with regards to the species rules. Write in NO accidentals except a raised leading tone for the penultimate chord in the first two exercises. Yes, the third exercise is in the Phrygian mode.
