   Hello everyone,

Are there any books that can teach me how to write vocal counterpoint melodies like Gentle Giant?

I am huge fan of these guys would like to learn how to write A cappella parts like them. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Adytum

	I suggest you to listen to Guillame de Machaut, and search for scores. At the wikipedia footer page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillaume_de_Machaut) there are free scores links. Then you'll find further elements while doodling with other early sacred music.
