Three-part Counterpoint Etude

By Ernesto | January 23, 2008

Here’s a little 3-part arrangement of “There Will Never Be Another You.”  I simply play the melody while holding a simple root-5 bass line underneath, what I talked about in this post.  Then I added a guide-tone line in the middle.

Here’s the score.

This is really a starting point.  I plan to add a little more motion and musicality to the two bottom voices.  When I do, I’ll post it and maybe even sit down and play it instead of uploading a cheesy MIDI playback like this one:
