Three-Part Counterpoint - Music Composition

Learn how to write three-part counterpoint. This music composition lesson presents a short musical idea and demonstrates how to evolve it into an extended passage of three part counterpoint. The characteristics of the initial idea are considered from the perspectives of melodic and rhythmic design & harmonic implication. The video then demonstrates how to use the initial idea as a point of imitation throughout a passage scored for String Trio. Then the free parts are added showing how to vary the texture and to use ingredients of the main idea alongside chord tones and non chord tones. We end up with a complete passage of three part counterpoint. ⬇️Download the files https://drive.google.com/file/d/14mcbLInpbXa2_ovDspMSBdheMCctcQqq/view?usp=sharing 🔴 Subscribe for more videos just like this: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg?sub_confirmation=1 🎵 Become a Music Matters Maestro: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg/join 👕 Merch store: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg/store 🕘 Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction to three-part counterpoint 0:25 - The initial idea 0:38 - Thinking about harmony 5:39 - Analysing the design of the point 6:48 - Key structure and harmonic plan 19:51 - Working a piece of three-part counterpoint 51:10 - Playing the piece 51:57 - Conclusion 🎓 Learn Music Online with Music Matters Learn music theory, aural tests, composition, sight reading, orchestration and more!
