Because there were a set of rules that governed how music would be composed and performed, the earliest examples, including Gregorian chants, were mostly monophonic (def. singular line of music); however, as time passed and the rules were either broken or discarded, music became increasingly polyphonic (def. many voices), which may have been attributed to the fact that Renaissance musicians sought to create a melody for every voice in their compositions. Homophony (def. two parts consisting of a melody and accompaniment) soon followed in the footsteps of polyphony, rising to prominence around the start of the Baroque Period. Since then, each of the three types of texture--monophony, homophony, and polyphony--helped lay the foundation upon which music would continue to thrive and evolve.

Provide 5-7 examples of each type of texture, being sure to include things both musical and non-musical.

Examples of monophony texture are;

1. A single person whistling

2. Taps sounded by a bugle

3. People singing a melody together without the use of instruments and without harmony

4. A corp of fife and drums where all the fifes are playing a similar melody

5. The sound of footsteps

Examples of homophony textures are;

1. A choral music consisting of the same rhythms being played at exactly the same time are homophonic

2. A singer singing in accompaniment of a strumming of a guitar chord

3. A trumpet playing a solo tune in accompaniment of a piano, a drum set, and a bass forming a jazz combo

4. An accordion or bagpipes player who is playing a melody using drones

5. Sounds of rain and thunder

Examples of polyphony texture are;

1. A fugue or a canon or a round are polyphonic sounds

2. The musical works in the early 18th century music era

3. Music from instrument bands or orchestras

4. A homophonic music to which a countermelody is added

5. The sounds of train driver honks his horn at a crossing while the brakes squeals

Explanation:

A monophonic music is a single melody line music

A homophonic music has a distinct melody and accompanying sounds that fill in the chords

A polyphonic music has more than one melody occurring simultaneously.
