Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

From Ave Maria virgo serena by Josquin des Prez, we took the contrapuntal technique and applied it to Greensleeves. Counterpoint is a way of combining two different melodies. Whereas in most song the melody would be supported by chords, here the melody is supported by another melody.
Though I was not able to complete this in class assignment, I was able to realize the objective of the assignment. Looking back on both assignments, I can easily see how Ave Maria virgo serena was supposed to be used as an example to notate Greensleeves.
