MUSI-2208 Contrapunto I
The central purpose of this course is for the student to explore musical construction based on horizontality, in other words, the melody and the things related to melody for managing several voices, considering, of course, formal construction from a harmonic concept (Bach). The student will gather the knowledge and develop sufficient skills for melodic construction with two voices. The course will deal comprehensively with several aspects that come together in composition, although apparently they do not agree on the topic of the offbeat, such as ways to build meter, simple binary and ternary forms, logical bases for the consideration of harmonic ties and incidence of the same in the melodic management.
