About this course
The purpose of this course is threefold: to give the student, through close analysis of selected works, an awareness of the role of counterpoint in Western European musical composition from the Middle Ages to the present time; to develop the student's ability to shape melodic lines, combining them in contrapuntal textures within a modal/tonal framework ("species" counterpoint); and to demonstrate how these contrapuntal textures can become the basis for compositional elaboration in various styles. Composers studied include: Leonin, Josquin, Monteverdi, Purcell, Bach, Mozart, Schumann, Brahms, Schoenberg, P�rt. This course is required of majors in jazz composition; it is elective for other graduate students in jazz and classical programs.
