Songs that use Counterpoint

Counterpoint is a musical texture where two or more melodies interact to create a sense of harmony whilst also maintaining their independence from each other. It is most commonly found in Baroque music, however we can find examples of contrapuntal writing in pop and rock music too. For this video I decided to forego my usual Patreon outro and instead feature a rendition of the Ukrainian national anthem which I’ve arranged. I’ve also decided to donate the Patreon proceeds from this video to Save The Children’s work in Ukraine. And, an extra special thanks goes to Douglas Lind, Vidad Flowers, Ivan Pang, Waylon Fairbanks, Jon Dye, Austin Russell, Christopher Ryan, Toot & Paul Peijzel, the channel’s Patreon saints! 😇 SUPPORT ME ON PATREON: 🎹 0:00 Introduction & Bach 1:04 “God Only Knows“ by The Beach Boys 2:23 Homophony Vs.
