I am experimenting with automatic counterpoint and melody generation with my Python programs. Here is early experimental three voice counterpoint (there are voice leading errors, I know, but just few rules are implemented). Stretched with Paulstretch.

"Choral": Mmmh... very expansive — the choral voices sound very beautiful,
yet also somewhat "artificial," as if coming through a pipe. In that sense,
this "Choral" is truly unique — peculiar, even. Yet therein lies its
distinctiveness and beauty.
What does "Melody Generation with Python Programs" mean? What kind of
programs are they? What have you taught the programs? Do they write
down the notes — based on an algorithm? *wondering*

Thank you for the comments! The artificiality of the sound arises from the use of virtual singers (Alter Ego) and use of paulstretch (I am novice in using paulstretch).
I am writing Python programs to generate musical events (notes/MIDI), these events are then transformed to actual sounds using synthesizers. The rules of counterpoint and classical melody are well known and describer in various music theory books. The interesting thing is how to implement them and expand them to suit my compositional visions.
