4th Species Suggestions
An excellent way to start a fourth species counterpoint exercise is to begin with a rest to set up a tied over pitch resulting in a suspension. Review the excellent examples handed out in class from Salzer and Schacters book Counterpoint in Composition. Use the cantus firmi to write your own fourth species melody.

A great way to find a good location for a chain suspension is to look for a cantus firmus moving down by step
