 Fugue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In music, a fugue is a type of piece written in counterpoint for several independent musical voices.
A widespread view of the fugue is that it is not a musical form (in the sense that, say, sonata form is) but rather a technique of composition.
Leonard Bernstein wrote a "Cool Fugue" as part of his musical West Side Story, and the musical comedy composer Frank Loesser included a Fugue for Tinhorns in his musical Guys and Dolls.

Music to be performed by one voice or by an instrument which is capable of giving but one tone at a time is written as a melody.
It is the well-founded supposition that all music was originally vocal.
It is the most beautiful of all musical instruments, its tones most nearly resemble the human voice, and in the hands of a master it speaks with an honest human tongue.

 Bach: The Art of the Fugue - Baroque Music Club BACH 730
When listening to the different fugues one can follow clearly the contrapuntal patterns; yet at the same time one is moved by the sheer beauty of the music itself.
Though widely used in musical literature today, the somewhat distorted expression was surely not an accurate image of the Master.
The true amenity of music consists in the connection and alternation of consonances and dissonances without hurt to the harmony.

 JFugue - Java API for Music Programming
To program music, you use music strings to specify the music you want to play.
It makes music programming incredible easy, and it's great for applications in which music is generated at run-time: algorithmic or evolutionary music, music editors, jazz improvisers, and more!
You can also create patterns of music that can be manipulated, recombined, and transformed, allowing you to play and experiment with musical statements in new and interesting ways.

 Amazon.ca: Music: Art O/T Fugue Musical Offerin
In his last years, J.S. Bach wrote much of his music for the sheer joy of creating mathematically delightful pieces, hence the endless variations and inversions of the themes from "Art of the Fugue" and "Musical Offering." Some evidence suggests that J.S.B. didn't care too much whether or not the music was, in fact, performed.
This is not necessarily a collection of music that bears constant listening to from start to finish as if it were a number of movements of a larger piece.
This cd is best for those of us who are unfamiliar with Bach's music and want to get to know these two works and buy an affordable cd at the same time.

The desire for harmony, that is, the simultaneous sounding with the cantus firmus, tenor, or theme, of one or more voices on different intervals, first found expression in the so-called diaphony or "Organum" of Hucbald (840-930 or 932).

 Musical Forms - Fugue
Hindemith's Ludus tonalis and Shostakovich's 24 Preludes and Fugues, both for piano, are modern equivalents of Bach's Well-tempered Clavier, and the first movement of Bartók's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta is a notable example of the use of traditional fugal procedures in a harmonic idiom based on the tritone.
The use of fugal material in Classical sonata-style movements was common - it has a special significance in the late piano sonatas and string quartets of Beethoven - and fugues were considered almost de rigueur in liturgical music throughout the 19th century.
Mendelssohn's e Minor fugue op.35 no.1 is a good example of the Baroque fugue seen through the eyes of a Romantic composer, and both Schumann and Brahms, with their academic leanings, made significant use of fugue in a number of works.
