Product Description

Covering modal music from Gregorian chant through the seventeenth-century, The Principles and Practice of Modal Counterpoint is a comprehensive textbook combining stylistic composition, theory and analysis, music history, and performance. By supplementing a modified species approach with a wealth of complete musical examples and historical information, this textbook thoroughly joins principle with practice, providing a truly immersive experience in the study of modal counterpoint and familiarizing students with modal repertoire.

Follows the pedagogical tradition of stressing writing skills in the manner of Palestrina, that is, modal vocal counterpoint of the Roman sacred school of the sixteenth century. This title focuses on the music that led up to Palestrina's style and the subsequent music that led to the instrumental style of Bach.
