Wait, you have to tell the chords by ear? I'm fantastic at visual analysis, but it takes time for me to do the same by ear..

Just in case, I'm going to give you what's most likely the chording for your "Contrapunctus":
Measures 1-2 - D minor
Measure 3, beat 1 - A major
Measure 3, beat 3 - D minor
Measure 3, beat 4 - either A major or A minor. No way to tell between the two.
Measure 4, beat 1 - F major, D minor, or Bb major. Again, no way to distinguish.
Measure 4, beat 4 - Any one of the above.
Measure 4, beat 4.5 - This is probably a perfect cadence, so most likely A major. Technically it could be A minor but that would not only be breaking the rules of cadences, but it also contradicts the musical style most exam/test material is written on.

Now I know that probably wasn't what you needed, but I put it there in the off chance that I'm wrong.
My internet browser isn't letting me hear the excerpt. Hopefully someone else will swing by..

I'm just being stupid, but what exactly are you supposed to do?

I believe he's supposed to tell the chords from the audio thing-a-ma-bobber near the bottom of the page.

I'm not sure what it is... I think it's some kind of little audio thing built onto the page. Safari's been retarded recently and won't play midis for me. What always happens with the midis is happening with said audio thing. That's what's leading me to think what I think.

But honestly I think K-night's 12 hours are up. KLAFJGHLKJDFGAKJDFGKAJFDVLAJKGLJAHDJBALDFVBLAJKDF!!!
