'''Counterpoint''', from the [[Latin]]: “against [[note (music)|note]]” is the combination of two or more separate musical lines to form an [[musical harmony|harmonic]] whole. It also refers to the academic discipline used throughout history to teach [[composer]]s how best to combine [[voice]]s in a musical texture. The term [[polyphony]] is sometimes used synonomously with counterpoint, and sometimes to distinguish medieval multi-voice music from that of the Renaissance and Baroque.
