MSC 271

Theory III: Modal Counterpoint

This is where the music theory sequence shifts from pure tonal harmony into the older world of Renaissance polyphony, you learn to think horizontally, building independent melodic lines that combine into legal sixteenth-century counterpoint while still keeping the chromatic harmony skills from Theory II sharp. Most of your time goes to writing exercises: adding one and then two parts to a given cantus firmus through all five species in Palestrina's style, plus ear-training quizzes nearly every week. It builds the contrapuntal foundation you'll lean on for fugue, analysis, and any later composition or musicology work.
