1. To the best of your ability, describe the "Seatle Sound". 2. Does hip hop/rap of the 1990s reinforce stereotypes, or does it give a realistic depiction of urban life in African American communities?
3. Name a few of the important styles of world music that emerged in the 1980s and 90s.

the answer is counterpoint.

counterpoint definition: "the art or technique of playing a melody or melodies in conjunction with another, according to fixed rules."

counterpoint is present in a lot of baroque music- such as bach (notably his wtc prelude and fugues) and scarlatti, but can also be found in music by mozart, beethoven. it can even be found in music as modern as john williams!
