Zarlino’s Le Istitutioni harmoniche, published in 1558, is one of
the most influential music treatises of all time. To his
contemporaries it revealed the secrets of composition he had
learned from Adrian Willaert, who brought to Italy the polyphonic
art of the Netherlands. To the modern scholar Zarlino’s treatise
illumines the compositional technique of the golden age of vocal
polyphony. The essence of this art is contained in Part III, “The
Art of Counterpoint,” which is here translated into English for
the first time.
