SIMPLE COUNTERPOINT

LESSON I


Counterpoint is the art of combining two or more melodies of equal melodic
individuality.

In simple counterpoint all parts must remain in the same relative position
to one another.

The Cantus Firmus is a given melodic phrase that is to receive contrapuntal
treatment, that is, one or more parts are to be added above or below it.

The Counterpoint is any part other than the Cantus Firmus.
