The Art of Counterpoint: And Its Application as a Decorative Principle (Classic Reprint)

(Excerpt from The Art of Counterpoint: And Its Application...)

Excerpt from The Art of Counterpoint: And Its Application as a Decorative Principle The appearance of a new book on Counterpoint, when there are already in existence numerous treatises on the subject, may seem to demand some justification. All books on Counterpoint must of necessity bear a certain resemblance to each other. Any difference must be sought in the point of view, in the relative prominence given to various phases of the subject, and in the treatment of detail, rather than in the statement of general truths or in novelty of arrangement. The history and the broad outlines of Counterpoint offer little scope for originality, and in these matters the present work will be found not unlike its predecessors. The chief points of difference are: - (a) The derivation of the rules of Scholastic Counterpoint from the practice of Palestrina, whose works exhibit the Art of Counterpoint in its perfection, rather than from a study of textbooks, the many discrepancies between which are due to the fact that theory has been built upon theory, often mingled with personal prejudice, so that the original basis of the earlier treatises has been forgotten or perhaps ignored. Little by little, harmonic resource has been restricted and melodic idiom enlarged. The result is a system of Counterpoint which has little connexion with the past and none with the present, containing a code of arbitrary rules which in many important features do not represent the technique of any period of musical art.

Excerpt from Applied Strict Counterpoint So many pupils have acknowledged to me the advantages that have accrued to them from having understood and practised the application of Strict Counterpoint in composition in the strict style, that it seemed to me a short treatise on the subject might be serviceable. Very few teachers encourage the study of Strict Counterpoint in anything but its purely technical and analytical aspects. It is certain that very few students understand the function of the semibreve Canto Fermo. Still fewer realize that it can be eliminated, and that the application of the technique of Strict Counterpoint without this constant factor results in composition in the style of the Polyphonic Period.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

This volume contains a fascinating treatise on the material of musical composition, its gradual growth, and its elementary use. Although old, much of the information in this book is still relevant and will be of considerable utility to those with an interest in music theory. The chapters of this volume include: “The Principle of Chords”, “The Ecclesiastical Modes and the Modern Scalic System”, “Principles of Melodic Progression”, “Ear – Training in Them”, “Further Preliminaries in Ear-Training”, “The Triads of the Major Key in Root Position”, etcetera.

Elementary Harmony, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint)

(Excerpt from Elementary Harmony, Vol. 3 In the Polyphoni...)

Excerpt from Elementary Harmony, Vol. 3 In the Polyphonic Period the contrapuntal aspect of music is chie y revealed, for the simple reason that combined sound itself was the result of combined melodies. In later periods we have both the harmonic and the contrapuntal styles, and the second is always the later manifestation. For, obviously, a writer cannot give attention to the individuality of his various parts till he is thoroughly conversant with the harmonic basis underlying their combination. This book has dealt with the purely harmonic side of the period. The student's next step is to study the contra puntal phase. It may further be urged that the best-equipped person for attempting modern technique is he who understands the whole process of development.
