Thanks you!. by your videos I can easily understand!. but one thing; how important is to have the right intervals between the inner voices?.. I see that you say. its ok to have (only one maybe) a consecutive fifth when finishing or before between the alto and the tenor ( imperfect consonance 6th to a perfect consonance 5th).
is the thing to avoid them how much you can?

Good advice, thank you. I've always wondered what the problem is with consecutives. When one of my early choral pieces was premiered, one of the basses in the choir (who was a music educator) approached me afterward and said, -I've never sung consecutive fifths before.- At the time, I didn't know what he was talking about. To me, it sounds like Gregorian chanting.

Thank you. I was glad you followed up on the voicing video with this topic. I am learning about chord progressions, and the first one we usually learn is the 5 to 1, so it confused me when I discovered consecutive Fifths should be avoided, because chord 5 to 1 is a fifth.

Why is it not a problem for the consecutive fifths or 8ves to be between different parts, i.e sop with alto and then in the next chord alto and tenor? It can also sound awful?

So basically if I just use the traditional triads on a specific key with no inversions, I would just get parallel 5ths?, and if so can I avoid them by using inversions?

Very helpful. I found particularly useful your method for checking consecutives, starting at soprano alto through tenor bass
Thank you so much!

What happens in the case of the first measure where you have f and f on the first beat and then d and d on the second beat but the voices change?
