Cadences in the 16th and 17th centuries 

Your videos cured my depression (sorry if my english is bad), im from Latinoamérica (Perú), in my city there are not true music teachers, and your videos are the light for my life, i love this channel ♥️

this video is amazing! undeveloped countries have almost no chance to get this kind of information, so i am most grateful for your amazing work.

Note to self: 0:45 Tenorizans (a descending whole-step) (HARD tenor cadence) 2:08 Hard/Soft Cadences (durum/molle) 2:40 Adding Cantizans (an ascending half-step) [HARD tenor cadence] 3:03 Tenor Cadence 3:29 Bassizans (a leap of a descending fifth/ascending fourth) 3:55 Authentic Cadence 4:47 Canto(/sopran) Cadence 5:02 Plagal Cadence [SOFT tenor cadence] (6:53) 13:57 Evaded Cadences

"...focus solely on the cadences. Enjoy." [Fixes me with his mesmer stare until I'm thinking, "Yes boss, I promise I'll enjoy it!"]

great video! only wish the music examples were louder, and that you'd played the Palestrina example along with the analyzed score!

Your channel is amazing. Thank you so much for bringing this knowledge, usually only available to privileged specialists, to the public.

I f***ing love the internet because of people and videos like these ones, with so much good information and so well presented. Thank you from Buenos Aires.

21:07 that smile was enough reward for watching cadences. Also I learned a lot, you can apply lots of these knowledges to understand 18th century counterpoint even better.

Astonishing presentation for such a difficult topic... You make it look so simple and understandable to almost anyone who knows the basics of music theory. Bravo!

Excellent! I'm already waiting for the next episode. Remarkably instructive, deep, simple and entertaining work!

Just stumbled across this channel after thoroughly enjoying Elam Rotem's music. This is really wonderful, thanks so much for all of your work!

I could listen to Elam all day.

I cannot praise enough the amazing quality of this video. The editing is so good and the information is on point and so well presented. We just had medieval/renessaince period in our musical analysis lessons, and this gives me more insight to how the music was created at that time. So interesting!

I don't remember if I already commented one of your videos, but after watching a few of them, I have to say how much they are a gift! Very well explained, slow enough so that we can catch everything. Despite a basic musical education and singing in choirs for years (mostly in ancient music), I always had hard times with theory and harmony. Your channel is the best one I found, so thorough yet with a subtile sense of humor and great visuals that make learning fun. Also, being french, I understand you perfectly, though I wish there could be more videos with french subtitles (like Allegri's one), moreover for terminology. Anyway: thank you for this high quality content ! 🙏 And I love the owl on this one 🦉

Beautifully illustrated and explained. Your videos are extremely valuable; please keep them coming!

I've been waiting my whole life for this channel! (I studied medieval music with Theodore Karp and modern composition with Pierre Boulez.) Thanks! (I'm going to start my own channel soon.)

Best music channel ever. Thank you so much for your work. I would appreciate more audio exemples!

maybe embarrassing to share but i fell asleep while watching this & had a beautiful, fantastical dream about cadences..... i rewatched the whole video of course... it's wonderfully educational, superbly illustrated & also apparently very soothing... 🙂 thanks Elam 🎶

Fantastic video! I'm glad to see such high quality content videos on youtube, thank you for making them.

Am so glad to have happened upon this channel. Many thanks.

Wonderful! You're knowledge of this subject and the ability to explain it in your second language is amazing!

Very comforting to know that so many people have this Passion. Curing my depression too!

Thank you so much for your incredible synthesis of the practical and theoretical aspects of late 16th and early 17th century music! Your videos are fabulous!!

Of course I'm still here. Please keep up the great work!

Awesome video! I can't believe I have only today had your channel suggested to me. This lesson taught me more about early counterpoint than an entire semester in college. Thank you. :)

thanks for this video! especially for the terminology that is a bit different from french terminology. i've been into analyzing 16th century music lately and I used Anne Smith as a basis. but thanks to your video it's really even clearer to me that still the lowest voice is important to give a name to a cadence. :)

I'm so happy I found this channel. Awesome work! Congratulations!

Thanks for this clear exposition! I have watched this a couple of times and got something out of it each time.

Fantastic video, such a good explanation!

The video is great! And everything is very clear :) Looking forward to the next one!

Once again an absolutely fantastic and clear video with so many useful informations. I listened to the Palestrina afterwards (guys, there are many wonderful recordings of this beautiful piece here on RU-vid! Take a look for yourselves :) ) with the analysis and it really made me enjoy Palestrina’s work on a different level already (and I guess this is just the beginning!). Thank you, thank you, thank you, Elam Rotem and co.!

I love your shows! They are most illuminating! Thank you very much!

This video was awesome, since I love baroque and renaissance music, but I can't ignore how cute is your jake T-shirt n.n

This is so interesting and well explained. Thank you for this video.

I found your channel today and Iam so glad of it. I've learned a lot. Very thanks tou you maestro and please keep doing such good videos and also many thanks to the maestro of video animation/effects. Greetings from Chile

So educational, informative, and essential! Thank you for your work!

Merci beaucoup, thank you very much, mille grazie e Complimenti per il Vostro Beautifull Channel 👍👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Cordiali saluti Anna e Luigi

Not what I was looking for, but delighted to find your channel!

The old terminology was soooo confused! And you're a great man! You've come up with the complete understanding and comprehensive terminology so that now we can, with a shade of pride, think that we know more of the early cadences than it is in the treatises.

Excellent! I was longtime waiting for such an explanation.

Brilliant presentation and a curiously decorated room.

Great video and content. Thank you for doing these research and for explaining it so clearly.

I started studying musictheory in september at the HSLU with Felix Diergarten :D thank you very much for all the videos. They really help me out! Wish you all the best

Just discovered this channel as I submitted my dissertation analysising music by Schutz. This video would have been even more useful if I'd discovered it a month earlier. Fantastic video!

I'm still here. Your analyses are excellent and make the context clear! I wish you were around 30 years ago when I was studying this music. I have a much clearer understanding as to how the paradigm shifted. KUDOS!

Absolutely brilliant! I love your video and your teachings. I learned so much from you! Thank you very much!

I am learning a lot ! great video, I will work more the cadences since they are so important in understanding the structure of a work which I use to play without looking at the structure...great tutorials indeed !

Great job! Your channel is awesome.

Before watching this video I was aware of hearing hard or soft reification of a cadence, but I did not know how deliberately apply them as part of the compositional framework. This also encouraged me to listen to Palestrina, always a good idea. Thank you.

7:40 This is huge for understanding the development of Western music, and especially the revolutionary shift in prominence from sacred to secular style from the Renaissance into the Baroque.

Maravilhoso como sempre. Obrigado!

21:08 "If you are still Here..." Yes, I'm Here. Thanks!

As a classical musicians I recognised everything from my counterpoint curses. Anyways it was very interesting and so well visualised so I kept on watching until the end! Keep it up!

Very well done! The visuals are very good.

I just love it, thanks for the video, everything is amazing clear. Congratulations for the chanel!!

That was amazing!! Thanks and keep up the good work:)

Excellent as always!! Thank you.

Thank you for such interesting insights. Yours is a very special video series.

Light shines in your video. Congratulations

Fantastic! thank you for your amazing work.

beautiful work. thanks a lot!

Thank you for this wonderful and thorough explanation ! I wish I'd had this explained to me this well in my musicology classes. It would've prevented me from banging my head against the wall quite so much.

Thank you for your great and very useful videos!

This is so interesting because I think melodically. I have always had trouble understanding classical theory despite being an experienced musician and composer. Thank you so much!

Another excellent presentation, thank you.

Fantastic video as always! Thank you very much, those are most appreciated! May I ask which software you used to create the scrolling score?

What a wonderful channel!

Outstanding content!

Thanks for this amazing video!

Add my voice to the chorus of praise for this excellent video.

This was fantastic! Thank you so much!

This is very clear and well presented!

Excellent, clear and very useful video, thank you!

Wonderfull examples for my counterpoint exercises. Thanks so much! Great video as always 👏🏻👏🏻

Brilliant video! Thank you so much! Would love to see you do a detailed video on the rules of counterpoint at some stage in the future :)

Elam, your facial expression just before "If you're still here" is great!

Terrific! Thank you!

Great! Your channel is a torrent of knowledge! Thanks!

you guys rock! Thank you!

Fantástico! Muitos parabéns e muito obrigado! Por favor continuai com estas maravilhosas explicações!

Great video and I love that T-Shirt.

I love your videos!!

Bastante complejo este tema. Lo tuve que ver varias veces hasta entenderlo! excelente trabajo!

thank you very much ! I love your videos !

Thank you for this video. I miss my time spent in Music Theory class in college.

Excelente info! Gracias!

Fantastic video!

Great video! thank you

Excellent!

What an incredible class, splendid! Thank you very much. I just missed hearing the perfectly annotated score: then everything would be perfect!

Thanks for this. I only wish you'd played the Palestrina score so we could hear it while you showed the cadences- at least play the cadences so we could hear them. I studied this stuff back in undergrad and graduate school, but I had trouble following it back then- it's a lot easier to understand now.

Watched entire video. Very helpful, as I have been looking for ways to understand Rennaissance music better. Clearly looking through 2021 eyes can be detrimental.

thanks for your great teaching !

I love your RU-vid channel. I learn so much from it. I know all the cadences you describe but I had no idea there was a system behind it. Btw: I like the pineapple and the blue pig but sometimes they are a little bit distracting 😳🤣

These videos are amazing!! I want moree 😰

You're videos are extraordinary in detail in information. Have you done similar videos dealing with medieval music and/or that of the Ars Nova? Great work!!!

My god I love this channel!

Thank you so much for all your efforts ! Greetings from Germany :)

Oh kind sir, I beg for more on cadences 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

so clear, thank you
