Music texture

If there is one line of music playing we describe this as

• unison

• monophonic

• homophonic

• polyphonic

If we can hear a melody with accompaniment this is described as

• polyphonic

• heterophonic

• melody dominated homophony

• homophonic

When we have a 'subject' melody, that is then 'answered' in another part and developed, it is:

• Polyphonic

• Fugal

• Contrapuntal

• Monophonic

When the music is moving in block chords it is:

• unison

• homophonic

• polyphonic

• fugal

When there are many different strands of music all playing at the same time it is:

• polyphonic

• melody dominated homophony

• homophonic

• heterophonic

When two lines are of equal importance, but working against each other, they are known as:

• heterophonic

• in counterpoint

• polyphonic

• homophonic

If all the chords are moving in the same rhythm, they are:

• homorhythmic

• syncopated

• polyrhythmic

• chordal

If you have two melodies that are the same, but one is a decorated version of the first one, it is known as

• homophonic

• melody dominated homophony

• polyphonic

• heterophonic

What texture moves notes in the same direction at the same interval?

• Contrary motion

• Parallel motion

• Chordal motion

• Counterpoint

What is unison?

• When one voice or instrument plays alone

• When two or more voices play together

• When two or more voices play the exact same thing at the same time

• When all instruments play the harmony
