First Year Counterpoint: Two and Three Voices is a music theory book written by Thomas Tapper in 1913. The book is designed to teach beginners the fundamentals of counterpoint, which is the art of combining melodies to create harmonies. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on two-voice counterpoint and the second part on three-voice counterpoint. In the first part, Tapper begins with an introduction to the basic principles of counterpoint, including the rules of harmony and the different types of intervals. He then moves on to teach students how to write simple melodies and how to combine them to create harmonies. The exercises in this section are designed to help students develop their skills in writing and analyzing two-voice counterpoint.The second part of the book focuses on three-voice counterpoint, which is a more complex form of counterpoint. Tapper begins by teaching students how to write melodies for three voices and how to combine them to create harmonies. He also covers more advanced topics such as chord progressions and modulation. The exercises in this section are more challenging than those in the first part and are designed to help students develop their skills in writing and analyzing three-voice counterpoint.Overall, First Year Counterpoint: Two and Three Voices is a comprehensive guide to counterpoint that is suitable for beginners.
