False relation
'False relation is permitted in Renaissance choral music (but forbidden in Baroque strict-style four-part chorales)'

This statement is not true (and unsourced!), there are many Bach chorales with false relations in - the progression in the 2nd example on the page (although not from a chorale) is a typical baroque example of a false relation common in all of Bach's work (it is actually adapted from the St. John Passion). False relations in Baroque music tend not to sound simultaneously or occur in adjacent voices, but there are several instances in the 371 chorales by Bach. False relations are in fact the source of some of the most expressive moments in Bach's choral music - and Mozart's, Brahms, Handel's and Purcell's.

I am going to remove it. If you can find a source by all means put it back with a citation. --Matt.kaner 21:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
