Gioseffo Zarlino and the Art of Counterpoint

Summary/Abstract: Gioseffo Zarlino, Zarlinus Clodensis (1517-1590) - clergyman, musician composer, pedagogue and most of all an impressively erudite scholar - is considered to have been the most remarkable Italian and all in all European theoretician in the sphere of music from the middle of XVI century. In spite of all this, Zarlino is not well known in Bulgaria. Reflecting the way of thinking and practice of musicians from the first half of XVI c. - based mostly on the counterpoint theory and practice of Adrian Villart , Zarlino’s teacher -the third volume from the four-part treatise of Zarlino “Le Institutioni harmoniche” (Venice, 1558) “concerning the second part of music, called practical, which is the art of counterpoint” is a source, from which theoreticians have been drawing information and inspiration for centuries, which is the art of counterpoint” is a source, from which theoreticians have been drawing information and inspiration for centuries. Even today we can learn many and diverse things from it. The study presents the life and the creative heritage of Gioseffo Zarlino - and more concretely, the third part of his four-part treatise Le Institutioni harmoniche (1558): “The Art of Counterpoint”. After translating all the 80 chapters of this volume, working on the preparation of the publication annotated by me, accompanied by a monograph on Giosseffo Zarlino, I expose his views on and approaches to the art of music.
