Tonal Counterpoint for the 21st-Century Musician
Rowman & Littlefield (Verlag)
978-1-4422-3459-8 (ISBN)
Designed as a single-semester introduction, Tonal Counterpoint brings the study of counterpoint into the present by:
·Making ample use of diagrams and flow charts
·Including helpful step-by-step prompt sheets for analyzing inventions and fugues
·Placing just as much emphasis on the composition as on the analysis of counterpoint
·Offering a broad array of musical examples, including the work of women composers, American songwriters, current students, and pop music composers
Throughout, Davidian explains how the techniques of 18th-century contrapoint still readily apply to how music is composed today.
Tonal Counterpoint for the 21st-Century Musician is ideal for students in the fields of music theory, composition, music history, and performance.
Teresa Davidian is head of the department of fine arts at Tarleton State University, a member of the Texas A&M University System. She is the author of articles on Debussy, the 1930s avant-garde movement, and music theory pedagogy.
