N.B. top excerpt is from Bach Mass in b minor – Et Resurrexit, generic bottom is from Beethoven Mass in C – Et vitam venturi. I understand that the Bach example might not count as Fauxbourdon in its most traditional definition (as derived from the medieval polyphonic practice commonly associated with Dufay) because it consists of parallel second inversion triads rather than first inversion triads, story as found in the Beethoven example. Some might call this use of parallel triads “planing”, which I associate primarily with the impressionists and the specific color it imparts in that music – I prefer the term fauxbourdon to describe any parallel triads that occur in Renaissance/Baroque/Classical music to exempt them from the parallel fourths rule.
Also I’m not a Beethoven fan. Haters Bach off.

A while back, case
a friend basically dared me to set the text of this amazing (yet, as it turns out, intentionally satirical) tirade against the Golden Girls in the style of a Bach Passion…..this was my best effort. (ideally the first line “The Golden Girls television program was never much to look at” would be a choral movement…but who has the time? So I started with the following line in a recitative (click to embiggen):
