Renaissance or Baroque? Believe it or not, it's not that hard. The hard part is crafting the opening phrase. If you get that right, the rest will work itself out. Just follow the formula. Follow standard figured bass progressions. If you're doing this for a class, just fuggetabouit and learn and do it. Six months of studying Bach taught me that it's all a formula. The *REALLY* interesting stuff is where he *DOESN'T* follow his own formula. Every time I was able to find that, it always sounded better as written, not as formulated.
If you _MUST_ fake it, use contrary motion (soprano goes up, bass goes down on the same beat) and repeating the primary melodic phrase in different instruments or parts (SATB). Do not ascend more than a third between notes on any line. The primary melodic phrase should sound interesting upside down, backwards and both. Thus, it must also have symmetry. The harmonic phrase (think bass line) should have the same qualities and work well with the melodic line.
So, complementary lines with contrary motion. Follow standard SATB chord forms and progressions. NEVER have parallel fourth of fifths, thirds and sixths have contrary motion, never double the third and do your homework.
