In the previous section, with its use of Metamorphosis 1 which moves to the neighboring
Swing, the use of the Secondary Disposition of the Performance Voices was imperative
to keep the different sections in the same range. However, in this section, with its
use of Metamorphosis 4 which moves 2 Swings away, the use of the Secondary disposition
is not really necessary and will be shown only when truly useful.
04pce Metamorphoses = ((4 - 0 - 4 - 0)) Chord Symbols = ((C6Am7- Dm6- Am7C6- G7)) C, seeMetamorphoses We have here a combination of 2 TONIC/DOMINANT Swings, one Inminorand one inmajor. Voice-leading = A throughout Performance Disposition =Primary Disposition throughout the entire canon in a high range. Complete Harmony when the first chord is used but not the last, withChord PatternM7*3 CadentialEnding when the last chord is used but not the first, with Chord PatternM6*4. Orbit Lines - in the Soprano Voice - ((03-2-12-1))1, in the Alto Voice - ((30-3-21-0))0, in the Tenor Voice - ((21-0-30-3))2, in the Bass Voice - ((12-1-03-2))1. The orbital and melodic canons are quite different here - the Soprano and Bass Voices are in orbital canon, in contrary melodic motion,
at a 2-chord interval, and the Alto and Tenor voices are in orbital canon, in contrary melodic motion,
at a 2-chord interval, but the Soprano and Tenor Voices are in melodic canon, with descending lines, at
a 1-chord interval, and the Alto and Bass Voices are in melodic canon, with ascending lines, at
a 1-bar interval, the Tenor a second higher than the Soprano and the Bass a second higher
than the Alto.
04sce The same Metamorphoses, Chord Symbols, Voice-leading, and Orbit Lines. Performance Disposition =Secondary Disposition throughout, not necessary, but useful, the entire canon in a lower (medium) range, retaining the same possibilities ofComplete Harmony, withM7*3, and CadentialEnding, withM6*4. The same canonic relationships as above, but, in this case, the Soprano and Tenor Voices with ascending lines and the Alto and Bass Voices with descending lines, the Soprano a second higher than the Tenor and the Alto a second higher
than the Bass.

Voice-leading = A throughout Performance Disposition =Primary Disposition throughout the entire canon in a medium range.

Orbit Lines - in the Soprano Voice - ((3-21-03/2-12-12/1-03-21/0-30-30))0, in the Alto Voice - ((2-12-12/1-03-21/0-30-30/3-21-03))2, in the Tenor Voice - ((1-03-21/0-30-30/3-21-03-2-12-12))1, in the Bass Voice - ((0-30-30/3-21-03-2-12-12-1-03-21))0. The 4 Performance Voices (BTAS) are in orbital and melodic canon, at a 3-chord (1-bar)
interval, the Bass and Alto Voices in one direction, at a 6-chord (2-bar) interval, and the Tenor and Soprano Voices in the other direction, also at a 6-chord (2-bar)
interval. This example was first presented in theMetamorphosis 4 section, in all the splendor of its colors, and later with each chorddominantized.

each Metamorphosis 4, the 2 following Metamorphoses 0 taking time off for a short swing at the
end of each bar. Voice-leading = A throughout Performance Disposition =Primary Disposition throughout the entire circle in a comfortable medium range. CadentialEnding on the last chord.
