Abstract:
Add dimension and interest to your music: This essential, core material is for anyone who arranges jazz standards or writes original jazz compositions. Counterpoint is a vital part of the writer's palette, providing textural variation for the listener and more musical parts for players. This study will help you craft melodies, countermelodies, bass lines, and grooves. It will help you manage the intricacies of interactive lines, control dissonance, and improve melodie development. Carefully guided exercises let you practice exploring and controlling contrapuntal relationships. The accompanying recordings demonstrate techniques in typical jazz arrangements. Audio tracks feature a live jazz ensemble of veteran Berklee faculty members, illustrating the counterpoint examples so that you can hear them applied in a realistic musical context. You will learn to: Gain greater control over your music, clarifiying your ideas and strengthening their relationship to one another; add variety and interest to your compositions and arrangements by setting multiple lines in dialogue with one another, creating a stronger composite whole; suggest harmony without relying on harmonic accompaniment; develop rhythmic interactivity and create new grooves using the techniques of cumulative rhythm and layered ostinato
