COUNTERPOINT PART 1
Hi my name is Moises Olvera, Im a guitarist from Mxico. Well thanks for read my lesson..
.this time I want to talk about a beautiful composition technique very used in Europe aroundcenturies XVII and XVIII. Called: COUNTERPOINT it was a technique employed bycomposers as J.S.BACH, SYLVIUSS LEOPOLD WEISS, ANTONIO VIVALDI, and many oftheir contemporaries.Exist many forms of contrapuntal structures and we would need an entire textbook to coverall but this time we will to simplify things and study just a little part about it, counterpointis the art of combine simultaneously two or more different melodies, this lesson will try
only a form of counterpoint called instrumental counterpoint free style of two parts,

Ok the following is my little composition on counterpoint free style, it has twoguitarists in a harmonic minor tonality...guitar one plays a melody in eights and
fourths, while guitar 2 plays a part in 32ths ..On measure 3 we play a d minor arpeggio and an a minor arpeggio against amelody with a F note and an A note as tonal centers...then the two guitars equals the note value on measure four, on measures 5 trough 12guitar 1 plays the same melody two times while guitar 2 first plays a melodycomplementing first part and then plays ostinatos in 32thsOn measures 9-10-and 11.....measures 13 trough 16 guitar 1 plays arpeggios in 32ths while
guitar 2 plays slower note groups and ends in 32ths,,,,the following measures the guitar 1 plays legato arpeggios and guitar 2 plays amelody in 8ths....for the last part we use silences and make some kind of imitative counterpoint guitar1 plays a melody while guitar 2 repeats just a fragment of the same melody but aperfect fourth above the original in this part the melody on guitar 1 calls theantecedent and the melody on guitar 2 calls the subsequent, the two melodies playedtogether forms at certain points cacophonies very strange but it sounds interesting as in
the last part which the subsequent starts a second behind the original antecedentmelody(inverting this makes a maj7) and this sounds some kind of dissonant but stillnice this type of counterpoint calls imitative counterpoint
listen and see the scores for appreciate the indications, well this was our lesson i hopehave been as clear as possible, just think of counterpoint as two melodies combiningtogether to form a more complex and unique melody...either comment or question
please dont hesitate to write me at [email protected] thanks for readmy lesson.
