Lecture Description

Texture refers to the way that multiple lines of music work together. The simplest type of texture is monophonic, where there is nothing but melody. The most common texture is homophonic, where a melodic line is accompanied by harmony parts that are not melodic. Polyphonic texture describes music where multiple melodies are happening simultaneously. The simplest form of polyphonic texture can be found in a round like "Row, Row, Row Your Boat."
