What is "counterpoint"?
Counterpoint is a musical technique where two or more independent melodies are played or sung together in harmony. Each melody, or voice, has its own distinct line but is carefully crafted to complement the others. The goal of counterpoint is to create a rich, complex texture where the melodies interact harmoniously, adding depth and interest to the music.
