Based on the style of Palestrina and other giants of the Renaissance golden age of choral music, this volume provides a practical method for gaining mastery of modal counterpoint, emphasizing musical creativity and encouraging the student to set words almost from the beginning, suggesting options such as traditional Latin texts, English translations, and sacred and secular verse.
