| | COUNTERPOINT FACTS AND INFORMATION |
| | This is not true; although much contrapuntal music of the common_practice_period indeed adheres to the rules, there are exceptions. | | | Works in the contrapuntal style of the 16th century—the "prima pratica" or "stile antico," it was called by modernist composers then—were often said by Fux's contemporaries to be in "Palestrina style." Indeed, Fux's treatise is a rather accurate compendeum of Palestrina's techniques. | | | The late 16th_century Venetian theorist Zarlino elaborated on the idea in his influential ''Le institutioni harmoniche'', and it was first presented in a codified form in 1619 by Lodovico_Zacconi in his ''Prattica di musica''. |

| | CONTRAPUNTAL FORMS - LoveToKnow Article on CONTRAPUNTAL FORMS |
| | These have always been the elements which suffered from neglect or anarchy in earlier transition-periods, and they have always been the elements that gave rationality to the new art to which the transitions led. | | | In the musical articles in this Encyclopaedia we shall therefore speak of writing in fugue as we would speak of a poet writing in verse, rather than weaken our descriptions by the orthodox epithet of loose fugato. |

| | These pieces are truly outstanding achievements of contrapuntal art, for they are actually two pieces in one. | | | This study will prepare you to analyze the first ten measures of Anton Webern's "Concerto for Nine Instruments." Every three-note segment of Webern's concerto is a contrapuntal derivative (transposed) of the pitches G, B, and B-flat. | | | The first selection, Contrapunctus XII from Bach's Art of Fugue, contains two fugues which the composer called Contrapunctus XIIa and Contrapunctus XIIb. |

| | The Relationship Between Contrapuntal and Serial Composition Techniques as Seen in Webern and Stravinsky |
| | The surprising consequence of the intellectual, calculated, and highly organized nature of Webern's compositions is a very personal and passionate expression, as seen in style and tempo markings in the scores of his works and accounts of his coaching performers of his music. | | | The first piece in which Webern combines twelve-tone technique with contrapuntal writing is his first twelve-tone work, the Op. | | | Johann Sebastian Bach: Fuga (Ricercata) a 6 voci, No. 2 aus dem Musikalischen Opfer |

| | A re-evaluation of compositional practice in the seventeenth-century. | | | This study newly defines the seventeenth-century concepts of counterpoint and composition through a reading of contemporary musica prattica treatises and shows how stile nuovo elements combined together with uniquely seventeenth-century contrapuntal and compositional strategies in sacred musical works. | | | Seventeenth-century pedagogical treatises by Banchieri, Diruta, Zacconi, Penna, and Bononcini not only instructed readers in a strict prima prattica style, but they also showed how "counterpoint" provided the foundation and flexibility to compose and perform music in the new styles. |

| | Kerry Minnear’s penchant for contrapuntal writing is especially clear on the instrumental cut, “Acquiring the Taste” (based on a melody by Ray Shulman), as well as in the fugatto string passages of “Black Cat.” With Three Friends the group underwent their first personnel change, as Malcolm Mortimore replaced Martin Smith on drums. | | | But before pursuing the gentle art of counterpoint, let’s take a moment to consider the history of the band. | | | The most interesting cut on Interview is “Design,” which like other Gentle Giant choral pieces, exhibits tremendous compositional control and virtuosity; and like the other choral settings, it is thoroughly contrapuntal. |

| | The real picture is, however, far more complex: the path from the first self-conscious contrapuntal experiments, transcribed more than one thousand years ago in Musica Enchiriadis, towards our present art music, has theoretical and artistic detours, which are all the more interesting and enlightening from our perspective. | | | Despite its obvious efforts, not even the art music of the twentieth-century has been able to completely eradicate this notion of "universal", strict steady pulse for a given composition. | | | A melodic model after which a polyphonic composition in strict imitation is brought about. |

Hexachordal thinking permeates their terminology. | | | This happened in one of our singing sessions when someone innocent of its notoriety brought a facsimile along. | | | Rather the converse: contrapuntal decisions, once made, can be expressed in terms of solmization, the nearest they had to a precise language in which to conceptualise and name sounds. |
