Polyphony A harmonic texture where one or more melody is being played or sung simultaneously.
Listen to Bach’s Fugue in G minor, a Baroque era composition. This is a pristine example of polyphony which starts out with a single melody and includes a graphic that shows how it weaves in more melodies until there are 5 melodies at time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVadl4ocX0M
Monophonic A single melody line. This is the opposite of polyphony. You can even have many people, and even instruments doing the same melody line at the same time and it is monophonic. Listen to the first minute and half of Agnus Dei from Verdi’s Requiem for an example of monophonic harmonic texture. After the first minute and a half it goes into homophonic texture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6b6aeYCFcU

I agree, so much information, I was really enjoying it at first but grew frustrated with all of the links, video, and audio, I have spent over 5 hours and have not even begun the assignment. I like the material just overwhelmed
No. 2 — September 14th, 2010 at 6:32 pm
This is a great amount of information but I have to agree with Jordan.
No. 3 — September 15th, 2010 at 3:33 pm
So many many links and so very much information. I feel like this lesson material is too much for one lesson.

I agree with you all… with 4 other courses that I’m taking, and working an almost full-time job… this is simply too much information to be able to sort through for one assignment. Honestly, this doesn’t even have most of the information that the assignment needs. It’s great info, and if I had the time, I might enjoy it, but right now it’s just angering me.

Well, I feel better that I am not the only one who feels that this is A LOT of material for one assignment! So many links, Blackboard drives me crazy sometimes. But, I do like the recorded audio clips. Jazzes up the back and forth of links and reading for hours.

Amelia, I completely agree! I really do enjoy listening to the audio clips. It does break things up a bit!

I did enjoy hearing the audio clips, but it took a long time for my computer to down load them.
