This edition presents a structured path from simple to advanced topics, emphasizing practical application over theory alone. It covers the development of counterpoint from its harmonic basis, plain and figurated counterpoint, treatment of chorals, cantus firmus work, and free-form compositions. Historical context helps readers understand how techniques evolved and why certain approaches remain useful for modern composition.
- Step-by-step technical exercises for simple and double counterpoint, including two- to five-voiced textures.
- Approaches to cantus firmus, chorals, and varied metrical formations that mirror real musical practice.
- Discussion of historical development and its impact on contemporary counterpoint writing.
- Practical guidance on applying methods to actual musical problems and projects.
Ideal for students, instructors, and musicians seeking a solid, actionable foundation in counterpoint.
