Dan Maske - Counterpoint Explained 
88 pages

Counterpoint is the technique of composing two or more melodic lines that are sounded at the same time.

Whether a guitar riff against a vocal melody, a bass line against a keyboard melody, or a violin and cello duet, in good counterpoint, these musical lines work together while also maintaining a unique identity. This book combines the foundational principles of traditional classical counterpoint with modern-day examples, demonstrating how counterpoint can play an important role in today's popular music.
