Counterpoint is a textbook for use as a stand-alone text in a
course on species counterpoint or as a supplementary text for
standard college-level courses in music theory. It is based on
Heinrich Schenker's (1868-1935) two-volume study of counterpoint.
It is intended to help all students of theory or composition to
improve their musicianship by examining the voice-leading that
underlies Western tonal music. The book 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. For the sake of brevity, musical examples are
available on the Scarecrow Press website (www.scarecrowpress.com),
rather than within the text itself. Everyone from beginning music
theory students to composers to graduate composition students will
greatly benefit from the methods presented here. 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.
