In this episode, Frank reframes counterpoint as a vibrant conversation between musical lines rather than a rigid academic exercise. You’ll learn how counterpoint can bring clarity and energy to your music, especially when applied to full sections in orchestration. From emotional exchange to structural storytelling, this episode is a fresh take on a classic technique—with some interval theory magic sprinkled in.
