Species Counterpoint is a pedagogical method of music composition in which sets of rules of increasing complexity, or species, from first to fifth, govern the composition of a contrapuntal voice or voices against a single, fixed melody, or cantus firmus.

In this series, folders pertaining to specific species are ordered according to species level: first to fifth species, followed by combined species.
