Harmony and Texture

When a melody is accompanied with chords, the melody is:

• Harmonized
• Dissonant
• Polyphonic
• Chromaticized

A chord that creates a sense of rest can be described as:

• Dissonant
• Homophonic
• Imitative
• Consonant

A chord that sounds discordant, unstable, or in need of resolution is called:

• Dissonant
• A motive
• Non-imitative
• Consonant

In music, the term texture refers to the:

• way different tone colors are combined in a piece of music at a given time.
• relationship between the pull toward or away from the tonic in harmony.
• blend of rhythm, pulse, and meter in music
• The smoothness or roughness of a melodic line.

The texture of a single melody played without accompaniment is

• Monophony
• Polyphony
• Homophony
• Imitative counterpoint

Homophony occurs when:

• various musical lines are heard one after another with the same melody or similar  melodies.
  
• the melody is heard in one line and the other parts have clearly less important  material that forms an accompaniment.
• all musical lines are heard simultaneously, but each has a different melody.
• all voices or parts are heard simultaneously with the same melody.

The texture that combines two or more individual melody lines simultaneously is:

• Monophony
• Consonant
• Homophony
• Polyphony

Non-imitative polyphony occurs when:

• various musical lines are heard one after another with the same melody or similar melodies.
• the main melody is heard in one line and the other parts have clearly less important material, forming an accompaniment to the melody.
• all musical lines are heard simultaneously, but each has a different melody.
• all voices or parts are heard simultaneously with the same melody.

Imitative polyphony occurs when:

• various musical lines are heard one after another with the same melody or similar melodies.
• the main melody is heard in one line and the other parts have clearly less important material, forming an accompaniment to the melody.
• all musical lines are heard simultaneously, but each has a different melody.
• all voices or parts are heard simultaneously with the same melody.

Music that centers around a fundamental “home” pitch is described as

• tonal
• consonant
• homophonic
• imitative
