{"ModuleCode":"MUT3212","ModuleTitle":"Modal Counterpoint","Department":"Yong Siew Toh Conservatory Of Music","ModuleDescription":"Modal Counterpoint focuses on the music of Palestrina and his contemporaries, which is a largely linear style. In this course, students will study how melodic lines create harmony, as opposed to the concept of yielding melody from harmony. A progressive and musical approach is taken in this course. It begins with the introduction of elements of style and an aural immersion. The course gradually proceeds from two-voice counterpoint to three, and even four-voice counterpoint. Due to the vocal nature of this style, compositional work would be complemented with in-class choral singing, and supported by interpretative analysis.","ModuleCredit":"4","Workload":"1-2-2-3-2","Types":["Module"],"Prerequisite":"MUT1101: Introduction to MCM; 3 Core Compositional Engagement (Theory) Electives and/or permission of the instructor","Preclusion":"Nil"}
