Synopsis
From the foreword: Direct Approach to Counterpoint in Sixteenth-Century Style by Gustave Fredric Soderlund is an important, authoritative, and illuminating addition to the list of textbooks on contrapuntal style. In accord with the best traditions of pedagogy the technical problems of sixteenth-century contrapuntal style are approached through a careful and exhaustive analysis of the music of the period, with special emphasis upon the works of Palestrina. By adopting this highly desirable approach the author avoids the sterility of academic strict counterpoint and initiates the student directly into the living art of the greatest of all contrapuntal periods. The material presented in this text represents not only Mr. Soderlund's thorough and painstaking scholarship over many years of investigation but also embodies the practical results of his long career as a distinguished teacher of counterpoint. Thoroughly tested in the classrooms of the Eastman School of Music for the past twelve years, this text has proved to be highly valuable both to the composer and to the general student seeking an intimate knowledge of the fundamentals of sixteenth-century vocal polyphony.
