(homophonic) From the Greek for "like-sounding " Music in which all voices move in the same rhythm Or, more commonly, a musical texture in which there is a clear distinction between melody and a chordal [chord] accompaniment (See polyphony )
Music in which a single melody is supported by a harmonious accompaniment Compare monophonic
musical texture in which the different voices or lines (note-series made by different instruments) follow each other with basically the same rhythm, so that the effect is of a succession of chords, blocks of sound
A musical composition for 2 or more parts with a single melody line, all other parts serving as accompaniments
part music with one dominant voice (in a homophonic style) the same pronunciation for words of different origins
