by Knud Jeppesen
This classic introductory text focuses on the polyphonic vocal
style perfected by Palestrina. Unlike many other texts, it maintains a
careful balance between theoretical and practical problems, between
historical and systematic methodology. The result is an exceptionally
useful resource, ideal for classroom use in teaching modal counterpoint.
In Part One, Knud Jeppesen (1892–1974), the world-renowned
musicologist and leading authority on Palestrina, offers a superb
outline history of contrapuntal theory. He begins by exploring the
beginnings of contrapuntal theory from the ninth to the fourteenth
centuries. This is followed by separate discussions of each succeeding
century, the styles of Palestrina and Bach, the "Palestrina Movement"
after Fux, and more. The section ends with illuminating coverage of
notation, the ecclesiastical modes, melody, and harmony.
The second
part of the book contains an extended treatment of "species"
counterpoint in two, three, and four parts, as well as counterpoint in
more than four parts, and specific discussions of the canon, the motet,
and the Mass. Throughout, the text is generously supplied with musical
examples―exercises, solutions, and illustrations, including many by the
great composers. For this edition, the distinguished scholar Alfred Mann
has contributed a new foreword to Jeppesen's classic study. Now
available in paperback for the first time, it will be welcomed by
musicians, composers, theorists, musicologists―any student of
counterpoint and the Western musical tradition.
