COUNTERPOINT  In music, counterpoint is the relationship between two or more voices that are harmonically interdependent (polyphony), but independent in contour and rhythm. It has been most commonly identified in Baroque music. The term originates from the Latin punctus contra punctum meaning "point against point".musicvoices harmonicallypolyphonycontourrhythmBaroque music Latin

FUGUE  In music, a fugue, is a compositional technique (in classical music) in two or more voices, built on a subject (theme) that is introduced at the beginning in imitation (repetition at different pitches) and recurs frequently in the course of the composition.music compositional technique voicesthemeimitation

CONTRAPUNTAL  In music theory, contrapuntal motion is the general movement of two melodic lines with respect to each other. In traditional four- part harmony, it is important that lines maintain their independence, an effect which can be achieved by the judicious use of the four types of contrapuntal motion: contrary motion, similar motion, parallel motion, and oblique motion.
