The Craft of Modal Counterpoint: A Practical Approach

A well-regarded text published by Routledge, The Craft of Modal Counterpoint provides a hands-on, stylistically informed method for composing in Renaissance‑style modes. As Dr. Sharon G. Levy of the Peabody Conservatory praises: “The author is quite well‑respected in the field… a thoughtful and significant contribution to the study of Renaissance (or modal) counterpoint.” It focuses on creative writing rather than dry exercises, blending analysis, stylistic examples, and compositional guidance—making it ideal for both composers and music theorists.
