Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Designed for courses in Music, this established text introduces the contrapuntal style of 17th and 18th century music through analysis and writing. While a limited understanding of contrapuntal elements may be gained through analysis alone, these elements are grasped in a more intimate way through the actual writing of contrapuntal examples. Also, by linking the study of counterpoint to music of a specific period, the text provides a clear model for students to emulate and a definite basis for the criticism of student work.

The publisher, Prentice-Hall Humanities/Social Science
This volume teaches counterpoint through analysis of contrapuntal elements in music and writing of the Baroque period. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
