species. Name given to each of 5 types of process in strict counterpoint. The species are: 1. Added voice (i.e. the counterpoint melody) proceeds at same pace as
cantus firmus (a note to a measure). 2. Added voice proceeds at 2 or 3 times pace of
cantus firmus. 3. Added voice proceeds at 4 or 6 times pace of
cantus firmus. 4. Added voice proceeds (as in 2) at rate of 2:1, but 2nd note is tied over to 1st note of following measure (syncopation). 5. Added voice uses mixture of processes of other 4 species and also introduces shorter notes (florid counterpoint).
