About the course
16th-century compositional practice came to be seen as a standard model for polyphony for several later centuries and has long been an important element in music theory for all later modal and tonal music. This course focuses on analysis of two-part polyphony as well as exercises in writing melodic material and different types of two-part contrapuntal writing in 16th-century style.
