This course explores modal counterpoint from the 16th century and examines the history, the ecclesiastical modes, the species in two to four parts, and the motet and the ordinary of the mass through the study of Palestrina’s music. Students apply knowledge in the writing of two choral works in the style of late Renaissance.
