Gijs Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Hello all, I've been thinking about the possible employment of compositionary techniques, within tonality, and i'm wondering if anybody knows of a composer or composition which is based on free-counterpoint. And free meaning here that there are two or more melodic voices which are of equal importance(as seen with Bach and contemperaries) but written in a more romantic, impressionistic way, written by a "younger" composer. I can't seem to find anything, so i'm hoping some of you have some suggestions. Gijs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest QcCowboy Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Well, there are lots of examples of contrapuntal writing in the 20th century. For example Hindemith wrote very contrapuntal music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually wrote a BOOK on the subject, which is dense as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest QcCowboy Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 and a brilliant set of preuldes and fugues called Ludus Tonalis, for piano (a lot of fun to play, actually.. the prelude and postlude of the entire thing are actually perfect inverted retrograde mirrors) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
