Answers & Comments
Answer:
In music, texture is how the melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic materials are combined in a composition, thus determining the overall quality of the sound in a piece. Texture is often described in regard to the density, or thickness, and range, or width, between lowest and highest pitches, in relative terms as well as more specifically distinguished according to the number of voices, or parts, and the relationship between these voices. For example, a thick texture contains many “layers” of instruments.
In musical terms, particularly in the fields of music history and music analysis, some common terms for different types of texture are:
Monophonic
Polyphonic
Homophonic
Homorhythmic
Heterophonic
We will focus on monophony, polyphony, and homophony in this course.
