Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Academic Counterpoint "We do it soon enough, if that we do be well." "He that is a master must serve." "A great ship asks deep waters." From Jaeula Prudentium by George Herbert, 1632. "One may do whate'er one likes In Art - the only thing is, to make sure That one does like it - which takes pains to know." From Pippa Passes by Robert Broning, 1833 - 1842. "It is a slavish toil to learn any art by text-books merely, without the assistance of a tutor; the written rule is of little use, is scarcely intelligible, until we have seen it reduced to practice by one who can practise it easily, and make its justice apparent. The case and readiness of the master are infectious; the pupil, as he looks on, conceives a new hope, a new self-reliance; he seems already to touch the goal which before appeared removed to a hopeless distance. It is a slavery when soldiers are driven against the enemy by the despotic command of a leader who docs not share the danger, but the service becomes free and glorious, when the general rides to the front... Principles last for ever; but special rules pass away with the things and conditions to which they refer... A principle is best seen in its practical application; a rule in its examples." From Rett Home (Macmillan & Co., 1885). For much generous advice and assistance in the preparation of this book, the author desires to tender his best thanks to his former pupils, Sir John D. McClure, M.A., LL.D., Mus. D., Lond., and S. E. L. Spooner-Lillingston, Esq., M.A., Mus. D., Oxon, who, together with Egbert F. Horner, Esq., Mus. D., Dunelm, and the Rev. Vernon Russell, M.A., have contributed useful examples to illustrate its rules: and to Sir John D. McClure, Dr. Horner, and Edward d'Evry, Esq., F.R.C.O., for further help in revising the proof-sheets. The present book goes forth in as perfect a form as, at this present time the writer can achieve; but his own long experience as a teacher leads him to conceive the possibility of still further improvements in the method of presenting to the student-mind what has always been an educational process of great difficulty and elaboration.

Download or read book Composers Counterpoint written by Charles W. Pearce and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Composers' Counterpoint: A Sequel to "Students' Counterpoint" As an educational process, this further poly phonic study may be best described as a legitimate and logical development or extension of that stricter method of part-writing which has been termed with equal convenience Students' Counterpoint. In the academical career of a modern musician, the time allowed for the study of Com posers' Counterpoint should properly occupy an intermediate position between the probationary period devoted to a necessary observance of the strict discipline of Students' Counterpoint, and that more congenial after-season, when (under the direction of his teacher) the student is called upon to put into practice his knowledge of polyphonic principles by attempting the construction of entire movements in Fugal, Symphonic, and other forms.viii preface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Counterpoint Although, following the usual custom the whole note has been chosen as the notation for the canti fermi in all the examples illustrating this work, it is of course open to the student to use a note of any length. The notes employed in the second and third species of counterpoint (usually half notes and quar ter notes) will be regulated by the character of the note employed in the canto fermo, being respectively two and four notes to one. The notation of the fourth species is similar to the second, but syncopated. Counterpoint. Notes were formerly termed points. Adding a counterpoint signifies the setting one point or note against another. Counterpoint is of two kinds, simple and double.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Counterpoint: Strict and Free Here every rule of harmony is observed, and the passage is perfectly correct. But if the different voices be examined singly, it will be seen that there iss very little melody, and almost no individuality about them. The Soprano and tenor parts each lie within the compass of a minor third, while the alto consists entirely of two notes. Such a passage, however correct as harmony, can scarcely be called counterpoint. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Counterpoint Simplified Counterpoint was the earliest form of artistic musical composi tion. It was the outgrowth of the simplest attempts of two sing ers to sing together without producing discordant effects. In Counterpoint then, we are primarily concerned with the movement of voices or parts, and the student should endeavor from the begin ning to accustom himself to follow each part in its movement, to think, so to say, horizontally, instead of thinking as in Harmony, perpendicularly. It is to be remembered too, that Counterpoint is primarily a series of consonances, dissonances being introduced only under careful restrictions. There are three most important principles to be observed in all writing of Counterpoint. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Manual of Single Double Triple and Quadruple Counterpoint Classic Reprint written by S. Jadassohn and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Single, Double, Triple and Quadruple Counterpoint This Manual forms an introduction to the study of single, double, triple and quadruple counterpoint in the strict style. All rules, directions, principles and observations contained in the book, are founded on the contrapuntal style of Bach, Handel, and other classic masters who followed our tonal system of major and minor keys in their writings. The aim of the pupils studies in counterpoint is, to prepare him for the study of canon and fugue; but even the disciple of art who does not intend, or is not able, to become a composer, will be enabled by such study to penetrate deeper into the works of the classic masters, and better to apprehend the sublimest creations of their art. But let no one imagine that in a course of contrapuntal study it suffices only to read or learn the rules; this could be done very easily and quickly. True progress can be made in this, as in all other disciplines of art, only by dint of serious and conscientious work. Not until the student shall have worked out the exercises contained in the Manual in proper sequence and with due attention, will he be prepared to proceed to the study of Canon and Fugue. Preface To The Third Edition. Together with the Third Edition, a considerable number of "Exercises and Examples for the Studies in Counterpoint" have been published separately. Both teachers and students will find them of practical utility when used in conjunction with the exercises given in the Manual itself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Simple, Double, Triple and Quadruple Counterpoint The subsequent Manual contains instructions for the study of simple, double, triple and quadruple Counterpoint. All the rules, principles and remarks set forth in this volume, are founded on the contrapuntal works of Bach, Handel, and other classical masters, who have written in our system of the major and minor keys. These studies in Counterpoint are intended to prepare the student for the composition of Canon and Fugue; but those also, who do not intend to become musicians by profession, will be enabled to penetrate more deeply into the works of the classical masters and to cope with the difficulties of their sublime creations. Let no one imagine, however, that the knowledge of the rules alone would suffice; these would be attained quickly and with little trouble. Only serious, conscientious study can further the pupil here, as well as in all other branches of art.
