| | Counterpoint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It was elaborated extensively in the Renaissance period, but composers of the Baroque period brought counterpoint to a kind of culmination, and it may be said that, broadly speaking, harmony then took over as the predominant organising principle in musical composition. | | | In musical composition, counterpoint is an essential means for the generation of musical ironies; a melodic fragment, heard alone, may make a particular impression, but when it is heard simultaneously with other melodic ideas, or combined in unexpected ways with itself, as in a canon or fugue, surprising new facets of meaning are revealed. | | | The late Baroque composer Johann Sebastian Bach wrote most of his music incorporating counterpoint, and explicitly and systematically explored the full range of contrapuntal possibilities in such works as The Art of Fugue. |

| | COUNTERPOINT - LoveToKnow Article on COUNTERPOINT |
| | As a training in musical grammar and style, the rhythms of 16th-century polyphony were early codified into the five species of counterpoint (with various other species now forgotten) and practised by students of composition. | | | Added Thirds and Sixths.An easy and effective imitation of triple and quadruple counterpoint, embodying much of the artistic value of inversion, is found in the numerous combinations of themes in. | | | Moreover, the artistic value of the device is at its highest in three-part polyphonic harmony, which, whether invertible or not, is always a fine test of artistic economy, while the inversions are as evident to the ear, especially where the top part is concerned, as those in double counterpoint. |

| | Musical Forms - Counterpoint |
| | The use of counterpoint in composition reached new heights in the late 15th century and the 16th with the works of such composers as Josquin, Palestrina, Lassus and Byrd. | | | Among Romantic composers, Mendelssohn was a capable contrapuntist, much influenced by Bach; Brahms and Bruckner also used counterpoint in their symphonies, as did Wagner, often for dramatic purposes, in his operas. | | | Beethoven used fugue in some of his profoundest music, such as the 'Hammerklavier' Sonata op.1O6 and his String Quartet in c-sharp Minor op.131. |

| | Although the act of writing species counterpoint simulates the act of musical composition, it is not exactly the same thing because of the contrived limitations of the species exercise. | | | The elements of music studied in species counterpoint, I would maintain, transcend nuances of musical style. | | | Species counterpoint is a study of the elements of composition in successively more complex rhythmic rhythmic situations. |
