Music Composers Unite!
Counterpoint Critique
I've been going through The Study of Counterpoint over the last few months and been writing about it along the way. I can't find much material about the topic online and don't really know If I'm on the right track.
I know the music sounds quite stilted and not as free as more modern compositions, but I'm learning as more of a technical exercise.

Hey, nice web page, good blog work. Your counterpoint examples look okay, go ahead, on to more advanced stuff when you feel that you've internalized what you're studying now. Also, check this out, on youtube, I think he knows his subject well ...

Get Modal Counterpoint: Renaissance Style by Peter Schubert. It's the most thorough book on the subject.

Not Sure I follow you man, do you mean that the music sounds like a Zelda theme? did you think I was advertising my site?
Glad you liked it, I've been working on CounterPoint for a few months like I say but It's just me so I can't easily get feedback from people I know.

I'd go on Google Books, IMSLP, and YOUTUBE to research the topic without spending monies. There is also a software program that aids in instructing students on whatever type counterpoint they'd like to do --- the program is called: COUNTERPOINTER.
