The author quotes Colin Fletcher to make the case that
a fugue has something to do with "colossal sameness--
not of monotony but of endlessly repeated and endlessly
varied pattern." Fletcher's quotation was originally
applied to:
the Colorado River.
the Grand Canyon.
the Tonto Plateau.
the Esplanade.
Although Fletcher did not use the word "fugue," he alluded
to music, and to the fugal process, by describing the Grand
Canyon as:
a rhythm of rocks.
a stretto of layers.
a real answer.
point and counterpoint.
one of the above
two of the above
three of the above
all of the above
The author follows up the fugal analogy by likening the Canyon's
subject and countersubject to the "point and counterpoint" of:
cacti and cottonwoods.
moonlight and daylight.
algae and tadpoles.
rocks and water.
The exposition of this fugue presents the subject in the
following order: TASB. This would be like discovering an
Anasazi trail wending its way to petroglyphs in the:
Toroweap - Coconino - Hermit - Kaibab
Bright Angel - Redwall - Supai - Tapeats
Supai - Hermit - Coconino - Redwall
Coconino - Hermit - Supai - Toroweap
Hearing a fugue's subject without perceiving it to be in a
particular voice is like:
finding a cliff dwelling in the Redwall.
being lost on the Grandview Trail by moonlight.
seeing a promontory without knowing its elevation.
spying a condor perched in the Coconino.

I'm three steps behind you on the Bright Angel Trail.
You descend five steps and I ascend four. We are now in
double counterpoint at the:
8va
9th
10th
12th
Again I'm three steps behind you. How high would I have
to leap if you tumbled down a 4th and wanted to hear me
sing in double counterpoint at the 10th?
5th
6th
7th
8va
The following measures are from this fugue. What is the double
contrapuntal relationship, if any, between melodies connected by
the red lines?
no relationship
double counterpoint at the 8va
double counterpoint at the 10th
double counterpoint at the 12th
Even though both melodies may literally move in the same direction,
double counterpoint still occurs if they switch registers in relation
to each other. What is the double contrapuntal relationship, if any,
between melodies connected by the red lines?
no relationship
double counterpoint at the 8va
double counterpoint at the 10th
double counterpoint at the 12th
What is the double contrapuntal relationship, if any, between melodies
connected by the red lines?
no relationship
double counterpoint at the 8va
double counterpoint at the 10th
double counterpoint at the 12th
