This music composition lesson presents a short musical idea and demonstrates how to evolve it into an extended passage of three part counterpoint. The characteristics of the initial idea are considered from the perspectives of melodic and rhythmic design & harmonic implication. The video then demonstrates how to use the initial idea as a point of imitation throughout a passage scored for String Trio. Then the free parts are added showing how to vary the texture and to use ingredients of the main idea alongside chord tones and non chord tones. We end up with a complete passage of three part counterpoint.\n
