Picturesque, but not historically accurate, I'm sure you know.
More like, where melody and melody collided. :)
if line 1 and line 2 do not intersect in a harmonious way, is it still
counterpoint? would anyone call it that?
Since "harmonious" is a loaded term - are we referring to a vertical
sonority or a horizontal progression - I'll venture a "Why not ?". After
a course in Modus Novus it's surprising what sounds harmonious. :)
But then I'm a great lover of Schoenberg and his disciples, so my
definition of "harmonious" is probably rather suspect.
