Counterpoint Duet | comment |
A musical trope employing the use of counterpoint, or overlapping melodies with different rhythms. The typical structure of a Counterpoint Duet goes as follows: one character sings a song, then another character sings to the same chords but a different melody, then both sing together in counterpoint. Most often used to express arguments or show that characters have differing opinions on the same subject, though occasionally merely employed for fun. A Sub-Trope of Let's Duet. Might overlap with Call-and-Response Song, though that does not necessitate contrapuntal singing (the singers may be "calling" or "responding" in turn or with the same melodic lines). A group number with a lot of members singing in counterpoint might be a Massive Multiplayer Ensemble Number. |

Joss Whedon continues the trend in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog: the song "My Eyes" has Penny singing several steps up from Billy, with a more lyrical melody in counterpoint to his militaristic rhythm. She sings about how the world isn't perfect but things are always getting better, Billy sings about how the world is a pile of filth and lies and everyone's out to get each other, talking about how disillusioned he's become. And the end of "A Man's Gotta Do" features a Counterpart Trio, with Captain Hammer and Penny singing about how amazing Captain Hammer is, and Dr. Horrible singing about what a dick Captain Hammer is. | |

In Miss Saigon, the song "I Still Believe" is sung by Kim and Ellen. Kim is alone in a hovel singing about how much she loves and misses Chris, praying and still fervently believing that he will come back for her. Ellen is halfway around the world in a comfortable bedroom, sitting right next to the sleeping Chris. Subverted in that the only counterpoint is the setting. Ellen's lyrics show that she is just as lonely and desperate as Kim (Chris' trauma over the loss of Kim has caused him to push Ellen away) and just as fervent in her belief that one day Chris will trust her enough to confide in her. | |

Next to Normal: The song "Who's Crazy?/My Psychopharmacologist and I" is primarily sung by Diana and Dan, with the other actors as ensembles. Dan is reflecting on how and why Diana was having treatments while Diana was telling the audience her path of treatments. "You Don't Know/I Am The One"; Diana claims that Dan can't begin to understand what it's like to live with her mental illness before Dan tries to remind Diana that he is the one who's been caring for her since this all started. |

Disney Animated Canon "Savages" from Pocahontas. There is a Part 2 featuring Pocahontas singing with similar structures to the earlier songs "Steady as the Beating Drum" and "Listen With Your Heart". "For the First Time in Forever" and its reprise in Frozen. The first version has Anna singing about her excitement that the castle gates are open once more while Elsa sings about her apprehension over the same thing. Meanwhile, the reprise has Anna trying to convince Elsa to return to Arendelle with her while Elsa tries to convince Anna that her remaining on the mountain is for the best; it ends with Elsa letting her fear get the better of her, culminating in her accidentally freezing Anna's heart. "Where You Are" from Moana has the men's and women's choruses in counterpoint to each other. |

Beethoven's opera Fidelio has a famous Canon Quartet: four characters expressing their different concerns over the same situation. Wagner (who studied and admired Beethoven) used similar scenes to great effect. Thus, before the judicial duel in Lohengrin, all the characters and the male and female choruses sing their separate views of the situation, mostly to different melodies, over and through each other. At the end of Act I of Siegfried, Siegfried and Mime do the same. Most memorably, at the end of The Flying Dutchman, the Dutchman's ghost crew fights a duel of song with the Norwegian sailors (reminiscent of the "Marseillaise" scene in |

"What Is This Feeling?" from Wicked plays with this, by having Elphie and Galinda on one melody line, while giving the other to the chorus. Later in Wicked, Elphaba and Glinda sing in counterpoint briefly in "For Good" - they have separate refrains, but combine them for the finale, in which it is also in counterpoint to the Ozians reprising "No One Mourns The Wicked". The opening version of NOMTW also has Glinda in counterpoint with the Munchkins for the final chorus. A different counterpoint duet in Wicked is "Wicked Witch of the East" - Nessa reprises her and Boq's passage from "Dancing Through Life", while Elphaba sings the incantation to turn Boq into the Tin Man quietly in counterpoint. |

"Lida Rose/Will I Ever Tell You?" from The Music Man (barbershop quartet against Marian). Also, "Pick a Little, Talk a Little" and "Good Night, Ladies" with the gossip women and the barbershop quartet. "The Sadder But Wiser Girl" was supposed to be reprised as counterpoint to "My White Knight," but this Soprano and Gravel duet reprise was cut. "76 Trombones" (one of Harold's big numbers) and "Good Night, My Someone" (Marian's first solo in the musical) are perfect counterpoint to each other, reflecting their personalities: Harold the Loveable Rogue with his big, brassy, over-the-top showmanship, and Marian the Stern Teacher with a quiet, gentle firmness. In Act Two, Harold wanders the streets singing "76 Trombones," hears Marian singing "Goodnight, My Someone," and realizes he's actually fallen in love with her, which prompts him to start in on "Goodnight"; in a humorous moment, Marian (who's caught on to the fact that he's outside) fires back with a few lines from "Trombones." |

"Now/Later/Soon" in A Little Night Music, which gives us a counterpoint trio of songs with only the slightest common elements... Except that only Anne actually sings her exact part again; Fredrik and Henrik both sing heavily modified versions of their parts in order to fit with hers. But this song certainly fits the spirit of this trope if not the letter. |

Anastasia has two: "We'll Go From There" is a counterpoint trio where Anya, Dmitry, and Vlad each express their anxieties and hopes as they near Paris. "Quartet at the Ballet" has Anya anticipating meeting her long-lost grandmother the Dowager Empress Marie, Marie wondering if her heart could handle finding out Anya was yet another fake, Dmitry sadly realizing that once Anya and Marie reunite he and Anya will go their separate ways, and Gleb re-asserting to himself that if Anya is in fact Anastasia Romanov, he has to honor his father's legacy and the Communist Party by killing her. Bits from "In My Dreams", "Once Upon a December", "The Neva Flows", and "Close the Door" are interwoven into music from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake score. |

A Christmas Carol (1997) has three songs like this. "Random Acts of Kindness" is about everyone in the tavern talking about how rewarding kindness is, while Scrooge feels kindness will come back to hurt you. Its reprise is about Mr. and Mrs. Cratchit arguing over whether to thank Scrooge or not. "Cross This Bridge" is about Belle breaking up with Scrooge, outlining their different views of life via song. | |

CrazyCod's "Never Mind The Ceiling (The Go-Getter's Lament)" is a duet between a Doomer and a Go-Getter, where the first has the former express his hopelessness regarding his supposed inability to perform better than his peak, then the latter tells him not to concern himself with that and actually put in effort, and the end has both of them where one sings and the other follows it up at the end of the line. | |

"Go Ye Heroes" plus "When the Foeman Bares His Steel" from The Pirates of Penzance probably qualifies here. There's a bit of "With Cat-Like Tread" mixed in as well, adding in a smidgeon of Distant Duet. "How Beautifully Blue the Sky" is a unique example, given that the two melody lines are in different time signatures. |

In Season 1 the title song from the episode "On the Run" has Steven and Amethyst duet about life on the open road; but while Steven views it as a fun adventure with childish wonder, Amethyst sees it as her only escape from her troubled home life. In the Season 3 episode "Mr. Greg" Steven and Greg counterpoint duet with each other halfway through "Don't Cost Nothing/Empire City". Greg waxes poetic about Empire City, and Steven muses on how fun it would be to take a trip. |

"Wenn ich dein Spiegel wär" from Elisabeth starts as a solo, then segues into a counterpoint duet to show that Sisi and Rudolf aren't so different. The main melody of Spiegel complements Sisi's leitmotif and "I Want" Song, "Ich gehör nur mir" perfectly. | |

"For the First Time in Forever" and its reprise in Frozen. The first version has Anna singing about her excitement that the castle gates are open once more while Elsa sings about her apprehension over the same thing. Meanwhile, the reprise has Anna trying to convince Elsa to return to Arendelle with her while Elsa tries to convince Anna that her remaining on the mountain is for the best; it ends with Elsa letting her fear get the better of her, culminating in her accidentally freezing Anna's heart. | |

Farmer Refuted from Hamilton skips the second step: first, we have Samuel Seabury singing about how the American people should not be tempted into revolution (with a couple of short interjections by the other characters), and then he sings the same verse again, but this time with Hamilton's much faster rapped response layered on top, written such that sometimes he says the same word or sound at the same time as Seabury. As an example, here are the first two lines, with the simultaneous common sounds bolded: | |

In Celtic Thunder's song "That's a Woman", two of the men play opposing views on how a woman is and should be treated. One (Paul) thinks they're nothing but good and should be treated gently, and another (Ryan) thinking that they're nothing but bad and should be treated in kind. In their show Storm, Keith and Damian have a duet where they sing in counterpoint; Damian talking about how cool and debonair he is, and Keith saying that actually, the girls are laughing at him and he's sort of a loser. |

In Peter Pan Live, "Distant Melody" is reworked as—appropriately enough—a Distant Duet between Wendy and Mrs. Darling. After Wendy sings through the song once, Mrs. Darling joins in on the reprise with a counterpoint, though it's mostly the same tune, just phrased differently. Peter also contributes a few notes to the second chorus, creating a mild counterpoint trio. | |

The title song from the South Park episode "I'm a Little Bit Country", with the country-loving rednecks supporting the war, and the rock-and-roll obsessed yuppies protesting it. The song is later reprised and turned into a Massive Multiplayer Ensemble Number. "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics" turns "Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel" into one of these. Kyle sings the traditional version of the song; the antisemitic Cartman adds a chorus about how stupid Jewish games are; Stan laments his failed attempts to spin the dreidel; Sheila Broflovski belts out a verse about the toy's history among the Jewish people; and Gerald...declares his love for Courtney Cox. Eventually, all five members of the quintet perform their individual lines simultaneously. |

West Side Story has a slightly odd example in "A Boy Like That," where Maria sings the melody of "I Have A Love" first as counterpoint to Anita, and only then as a song of its own. (This duet concludes the "History of Musical Comedy" medley sung by Carol Burnett and Julie Andrews in their 1962 Carnegie Hall special, after they sing many songs from older Broadway musicals in counterpoint with each other.) A more usual example is the "Tonight" quintet/ensemble, which ends with Anita, Riff and Bernardo echoing the jazzy "We're gonna rock it tonight" motif against Tony and Maria's reprise of their earlier duet. |
