![]() ![]() This is an exercise so start with a small amount of musical material. Take the chorus of a song you really like and learn to sing/ play it or write your own short melody (it needn’t have words).Try and include an example that is monophonic, homophonic and polyphonic. Some ideas to get you started: A song that is polyphonic with multiple melodiesĬompose or arrange a short piece of music for two or three voices or instrument parts.A song with only one melody but the melody is used in multiple voices creating a polyphonic texture.A song that is in parts but the parts are homophonic (in harmony, moving together).A song that starts monophonic (one melody) but becomes polyphonic (several melodies).Listen to a variety of songs and music and see if you can find examples of: Now you’ve sung different types of songs think about the textures they each had. Musical texture is best experienced through singing and playing music. Your next task is to work your way through learning to sing songs with different textures. Polyphonic has more than one melody happening at the same time Homophonic has one clear melody while everything else fills in the chords, harmony, rhythm It could be sung by one voice or lots of voices in unison Monophonic has one melodic line and no harmony. Sing Up has a range of songs that introduce the textures: monophonic, polyphonic and homophonic. These songs (available to Members) introduce the textures both in the lyrics but also in how the music is written. Develop your understanding and knowledge of a range of textures such as monophonic, homophonic, polyphonic and imitative (including round/canon) and recognise them in pieces of music.Compose or arrange a short piece of music with different textures in it – these could be for voices or instruments or a combination.Sing a range of songs with different textures and experience singing both melody and harmony. ![]()
