Nice theme to explore ! ;).
Great topic! Been waiting for a great counterpoint video.
I love the fact that in almost all your music theory videos there is radiohead !!! RADIOHEAD GENIUS
Thumbnail: Thom Yorke – of course.
Counterpoint is what I’m going over in university, this is perfect timing! Thanks for all the videos
I love this! I hadn’t even considered what made these songs special. It feels so freeing to have interwoven melodies that don’t need block chords to support them
Longtime Sunshine by Weezer features a great example of counterpoint. It takes 5 melodies from different Weezer songs and layers them one by one at the end of the song.
Now i want to hear bachs inventions but with the beach boys’ voices.
Me clicks on video
Also me: oh my god I am practicing this invention right now, even played it to my teacher today or half of it!
Because most of Bach’s invention consist counterpoint they aren’t as easy as they look. It took me ages to play invention no 8 and 1.
17:37 But why the parallel octaves? 🤭
Do you know the song Drones by Muse, that last track on the titular album. Its a reworking of Palestrinas Sanctus and Benedictus. Probably doesn’t fit the topic of the video but is with mentioning.
One of my favorite examples of counterpoint (round) in popular music has got to be “Ladies and Gentlemen We’re Floating in Space” by Spiritualized
I’m a simple man. I see counterpoint, I click ‘like.’
The track “Drones” by Muse has a ton of counterpoint!
Is a part only considered a voice if it’s playing one note at a time?
Another great counterpoint song is David Bowie and Bing Crosby’s Little Drummer Boy, Peace On Earth
Kudos to the last piece.
The ending piece was lovely
My favorite song ever uses counterpoint: Without Her by Harry Nilsson
