Jeppesen's rule Is more accurate*

"If in three or more parts otationary tones occur in one or more voices while at the same time two or more voices progress in quarters

;ths|# these more lively voices may form dissonances with each other freely, provided the relation of each voice is correct with respect to the stationary voices."

Uni sons. I,. fast ti/inie time unisons between tho

lowest voice and one or more upper voices occur in­

frequently on the beat, rarely on the second hail of

the heat, and never on the last quarter of a beat.

Unisons occur in conjunction with other intervals

once every sight measures. Tho unison alone occurs

only once in l6>t measures.

in slow triple time unisons occur once every

four measures in conjunction with other intervals,

and alone only orice in 52 measures. (The metrical

arrangement of unisons forms no clear pattern.)

Parallel Perfect Intervals. Parallel perfect fifths,
