Description

The Craft of Modal Counterpoint is the essential companion to Benjamin's The Craft of Tonal Counterpoint, now in a second edition from Routledge. Modal counterpoint defines the compositional style that dominated music before Bach's tonal revolution and remains fundamental to Early Music study. Benjamin, both composer and pedagogue, provides a comprehensive analysis of this vital musical discipline. The book progresses systematically from general stylistic principles through detailed exploration of two, three, and four-part counterpoint techniques. Special attention is given to the Motet, a crucial vocal form of the period. This practical approach combines theoretical rigour with accessible instruction, making it an invaluable resource for music students, composers, and anyone studying medieval and Renaissance composition.

Key Features

The Craft of Modal Counterpoint by Benjamin covers general principles before advancing to two, three, and four-part compositional techniques.

Routledge's second edition provides updated pedagogy from Benjamin, a practising composer and experienced music teacher.

Detailed analysis of the Motet form helps students understand this essential vocal composition type from the Early Music period.

This practical approach bridges modal counterpoint theory with hands-on compositional methods for musicians and music scholars.

The companion volume to The Craft of Tonal Counterpoint offers complete coverage of pre-Baroque musical style and composition.
