I have been talking a lot about counterpoint lately in conjunction with my online course, Practical Counterpoint. One of the things I mean when I say I am dealing with “practical” counterpoint is, you don’t have to write a whole canon or fugue to use contrapuntal techniques. Sometimes just one section of a piece might be in canon just employ polyphonic techniques. In this video post, I show how my Music Master Class theme music uses canon as one element of a larger (albeit still quite short) whole.
