Download or read book Tonal Counterpoint for the 21st-Century Musician written by Teresa Davidian and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-02-10 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students today have grown up in the age of digital technology. As a result, they process information in radically different ways than preceding generations. They like their information fast and consider visual images as important as textual content. In Tonal Counterpoint for the 21st-Century Musician, Teresa Davidian finally provides students a textbook that is quick, direct, and visual—a direct reflection of the age in which they live. This book is easy to understand, comprehensive, and distinctly modern in its approach to the study of counterpoint. Written in a style that is clear, simple, and informal writing style, Davidian artfully mixes the history of counterpoint with an outline of its structure, placing musical examples from J. S. Bach side by side with those from The Beatles to illustrate the universality and currency of counterpoint in music analysis and composition. Designed as a single-semester introduction, Tonal Counterpoint brings the study of counterpoint into the present by: Making ample use of diagrams and flow charts Including helpful step-by-step prompt sheets for analyzing inventions and fugues Placing just as much emphasis on the composition as on the analysis of counterpoint Offering a broad array of musical examples, including the work of women composers, American songwriters, current students, and pop music composers Throughout, Davidian explains how the techniques of 18th-century contrapoint still readily apply to how music is composed today. Tonal Counterpoint for the 21st-Century Musician is ideal for students in the fields of music theory, composition, music history, and performance.

Download or read book Counterpoint written by Henry Martin and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Counterpoint proceeds by developing species counterpoint in the tradition of Johann Joseph Fux and his famous Gradus ad Parnassum (1725), but with attention to Schenker's more in-depth study. Everyone from beginning music theory students to composers to graduate composition students will benefit from the methods introduced here. As emphasized in the preface, readers are presented with "exercises for composition." Rather than actually teaching a student to compose, working through these exercises will improve musicianship as it applies to both composition and understanding music theory."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis A Practical Approach to 18th Century Counterpoint by : Robert Gauldin

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical work in writing counterpoint! This volume emphasizes developing analytical and writing skills in the contrapuntal technique of the eighteenth century. The orientation is strongly stylistic, dealing mainly with the polyphony of the late Baroque period. Three aspects are stressed throughout: practical work in writing counterpoint, utilizing various textures, devices, and genre of the period; historical background, to establish the origins of different forms and justify the pedagogical method employed here; analysis of selections from music literature, often in voice-leading reductions. After an opening chapter that reviews some general features of the late Baroque period, there is a brief survey of melodic characteristics, and a study of procedures associated with two, three, and four voices.

Book Synopsis Tonal Counterpoint by : Walter R. Spalding
Download or read book Tonal Counterpoint written by Walter R. Spalding and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-11-30 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attention is particularly called to the fact that very few rules are given as to " what not to do " in music. Almost anything can be done at some time or other (for music is not a matter of morals), when for the sake of special effect a departure is made from the normal rules. What is needed is a well-trained instinct as to whether any given effect justifies itself. In no way is this power gained so surely or quickly as by a thorough study of the compositions of the great masters, Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and others. No one ever becomes a geologist merely by the study of books on the subject but rather by going out into the fields and examining the works of nature at first hand. Likewise in music, example is much better than precept. Very few prohibitive rules will be found in this book, and as far as possible every suggestion and recommendation is confirmed and illustrated by an example from some standard composer.
