Hi
I have a book about music theory which explaines about counterpoint so i have a question about it.
It says that 'counterpoint consists of two melodies sounded at the same time.'
Now my question is if a bass-line is also considered a melody when it comes to counterpoint?
And what when its not really melodic??
And should all parts of a song (except drums) be considered a melody when it comes to counterpoint?
I hope you can answer my question(s).
Best regards

Counterpoint is quite broad being that all music has some countrapuntal(meaning counterpoint)elements in it at one point or another.

Oops, countrapuntal should be spelled contrapuntal.

It is a way of writing things. You can theoretically call lots of things "counterpoint" if the construction of the "melodies" leads to interaction and not just harmony.
The bass line is often written as a contrapuntal element. The Bass and Drums often work that way between each other too.
You can compose using this method a lot, or a little. Some styles and eras have a highly defined contrapuntal element. Others don't.
Sometimes, it just allows the listener to pay attention to one part moving while another part stands still.
For Baroque Contrapuntal Style: there are many good books on this. Have at it!
GOOOOOOROOOOOO
