Counterpoint Definition. Counterpoint is a style of musical writing which involves intertwining two or more melodies. Each individual melody (also called a “voice” or “part”) is an independent, musical idea, and the emphasis is on the separate strands of melody, on the horizontal axis, rather than on the harmony, or vertical axis.
