Discover the timeless art of species counterpoint with this step-by-step method for writing music that is both harmonically sound and melodically expressive.
Developed during the Renaissance and refined by Fux in the 18th century, this approach guides you through progressive exercises that train the ear, sharpen melodic writing, and deepen your understanding of voice leading.
This book offers a clear introduction to two-part species counterpoint, with an overview of three-part writing for further study. It is an essential resource for composers, arrangers, and performers seeking to elevate their craft.
Includes exercises and model answers.Victoria Williams graduated from the University of Leeds with a BA Honours in Music, specialising in Musicology. She also holds the LmusTCL and AmusTCL (distinction) diplomas in Music Theory, from Trinity College London.
