Writing Counterpoint from a Chord Scheme - Music Composition

How to write counterpoint from a chord scheme. If you are working with a progression of chords and want to learn how to write contrapuntally around that harmonic scheme then this is the video for you. If you are analysing contrapuntal music this music composition lesson will also show you how to discover the harmonic framework that sits behind the counterpoint. How do you go about writing counterpoint? How strict or how free can you be? How do you incorporate chord notes and non-chord notes? This video will be of interest to composers, arrangers, performers, and to those who want to improve the ability to write and analyse contrapuntal music.

Nice but you should write the number 6 so that it is not mistaken for a flat-sign b. Your 6 has a straight vertical back and a "square circle". Do you see what I mean? A "cheat-sheet" user would write Am/c. In fx. Handel Complete Works edition you can find nice examples of how to write 6 and b without blending them.

[@MusicMattersGB]

a is root position b is first inversion c is second inversion

This is so useful, to develop a contrapuntal progression from a fairly basic chord scheme shown so logically and clearly is absolutely brilliant. In 16 minutes I understood more about counterpoint than I ever have. Thanks so much for yet another great video.

I'm still working on my keyboard skills, and this is out of my pay grade. But I sat in on the course anyway, as I have done for almost two years with your video classes. And I have never felt hopelessly lost, since you always include a home base with your calm presentation. For a retired health care provider who used to joke about my lack of musical understanding, this is a life changing event. Merci beaucoup to you and Alex. I hope both of you have watched my video on exercises to stabilize and strengthen the low back. Thirty seconds of exercises that could be done every day, since it's only thirty seconds. Oh, BTW, it SHOULD be done every day, since it's only thirty seconds. Also included are treatments for the shoulders and hands. Oh My Aching Bach

Thank you so much for videos with great explanations, Mr. Green. Mr., I'm very curious about how to write harmony melodies for a main melody when there are already chords (like for two singing voices), and how to sing a harmony melody just by hearing the existing melody with or without the beat (arrangement). I hope you will make a video about this subject, I'm very excited. Thank you ♥.

[@noelaruldas1152]

Thank you very much! I got good ideas to play melody in higher octave (right hand) with addition of two more notes in lower octave (left hand) to make chords. By making such arrangements in turn I gets idea to play dual melody both in parallel and contrary motion.

[@anfarahat]

Hi Gareth, I am a long time admirer of your tutorials. They definitely helped me improve my understanding of music and composition as a science not just as an art. In the example you are providing, you kept alternating the main subject/motif between the Soprano and the Bass every two beats. I know you are trying to maintain some sort of balance, but is that a must? What other variations on that would be acceptable? Thanks and keep up the great work you are doing!

[@MusicMattersGB]

Thanks for your support. The imitation is regular here but there are many other possibilities if you want to place entries one or three beats apart or wider.

[@marianoviedo]

Gracias!!!

[@spiritualneutralist2597]

I always find it interesting when we assume our way of doing things is the only way. Example: Some individuals in the comments thought that you were mistaken for using IIb for first inversion chords. I grew up in Jamaica (once a British colony) and moved to the United States so I am aware of difference ie. crochets vs quarter notes. We must remember not to get caught up in language and/or symbols being absolute. We should focus our intention on the thing being referred to and the context.

[@MusicMattersGB]

Absolutely!

[@francescomanfredi]

The blue notes are always the best!

[@robdavis3670]

This was fantastic! What would be the main obstacles to adding a third voice to what you had at the end?
