Cambiata
Cambiata, or nota cambiata (Italian for changed note), has a number of different and related meanings. Generally it refers to a pattern in a homophonic or polyphonic (and usually contrapuntal) setting where a note is skipped from in one direction and this is followed by motion in the opposite direction, and where either the note skipped from is distinguished as a dissonance or the note skipped to is distinguished as a non-harmonic or non-chordal tone. With regards to pedagogical, species counterpoint, it refers to a more specific set of patterns.
In species counterpoint
In species counterpoint, the dissonant cambiata can be called an idiom in that it is considered an acceptable pattern even though it breaks a rule, in this case, that of skipping from a dissonance. The dissonance in the dissonant cambiata is approached by descending step and occurs on a weak half or quarter of the beat; the skip from the dissonance must be a descending third to a consonance; and this consonance must be followed by some number of ascending steps. This means there are only three possible essential dissonant cambiatas in third species: Two above the cantus firmus, with vertical intervals 8-7-5-6 (Ex.1) and 6-b5-3-4 (Ex.2); and one below the C.F., with 3-4-6-5 (Ex.3).

Un Angelo Blu
by: CampetSorrido a lei e piango per lei
io mi specchio negli occhi suoi
Un angelo blu
vola in cielo
Un angelo blu
che se fischio torna giù
Un angelo blu
e lei lo sa
è tutto ciò che io ho
e in gabbia la terrò.
Io amo lei
e lei ama me
più bella cosa al mondo non c'è.
Un angelo blu
vola in cielo
Un angelo blu
che se fischio torna giù
Un angelo blu
e lei lo sa
è tutto ciò che io ho
e in gabbia la terrò.
