How King Dorian United His Kingdom

King Dorian and Imitation

After looking at these notation styles, King Dorian decided that he would look deeper into the composition techniques used to write major works. Josquin Deprez's Ave Maria was iconic in pioneering the advancement of the technique called imitative counterpoint. Imitative counterpoint is when two or more voices enter at different times and some of the melodic content is repeated. King Dorian decided to use the initial melody of the well known piece Greensleeves and attempt to create a work of imitative counterpoint based on it.
