    a. solo Voice
    b. solo voice with accompaniment
    c. duet, partner songs, round songs
    2. Instrumental
    a. solo
    b. ensemble
     Distinguishes monophonic, homophonic and
    polyphonic textures
    Texture is one of the basic elements of
    music. When you describe the texture of a
    piece of music, you are describing the
    relationship of melodic and (sometimes)
    harmonic elements with each other.

    For example, the texture of the music might


    be thick or thin, or it may have many or few
    layers. It might be made up of rhythm only,
    or of a melody line with chordal
    accompaniment.
    Are You Sleeping, Brother John
    Are you sleeping (2x)
    Brother John (2x)
    Morning bells are ringing (2x)
    Ding dong ding (2x)
    The many voices you hear at
    the same time are called
    TEXTURE.
    What is texture?
    Texture in music
    -refers to the structure of a musical
    composition showing how many
    sounds, various layers or voices are
    heard at the same time.
    What are the three (3) kinds of
    texture?

    A. Monophonic or monophony

    -Mono means one sound.


    -single melodic line without
    accompaniment
    A. Monophonic or monophony

    -Signifies only one voice


    -Usually sung in Unison

    Unison means multiple performers on the same line of


    music.
    Examples

    1. Acapella – singing or performing along


    without any accompaniment or
    instruments to play along with the
    performance.
    2. A person whistling a tune
    3. A group of people singing a song
    together with harmonies or
    instruments.
    What are the three (3) kinds of
    texture?

    B. Homophonic Texture

    -single melodic sound with


    accompaniment
    -focus on the melody supported by
    another instrument like the guitar or
    piano.
    Examples

    1. An acoustic performance wherein a


    singer is accompanied by a musician
    using his electric guitar.
    What are the three (3) kinds of
    texture?

    C. Polyphonic Texture
    Poly means many, thus “polyphonic”
    involves the combination of many
    sounds or voices.

    It can be one melody with different voices


    such as bass, tenor, alto and soprano. It can
    be more than one melody played together.
    The following are the examples of polyphonic texture:

    1.Partner songs – two or more


    independent songs happened to have
    the same harmonic structure that can
    be sung together at the same time.
    The following are the examples of polyphonic texture:

    2. Descant – an independent or counter


    melody sung or played above the basic
    melody
    The following are the examples of polyphonic texture:

    3. Round song – successive voices follow


    the first in exact imitation on the notes at
    a set time interval, continuing over and
    over until the random end point.
