Jon Brantingham April 21, 2016 at 7:14 am For modal counterpoint, my favorite is Peter Schubert’s book Modal Counterpoint: Renaissance Style. For tonal counterpoint, the Benjamin book is good, The Craft of Tonal Counterpoint, as is the The Principles and Practice of Tonal Counterpoint by Evan Jones. Reply
