Question

Identify the texture based on the situation described in each item. Write Monophonic, Homophonic or Polyphonic!

Answer 1

Answer:

1. homophonic
2. monophonic
3. polyphonic
4. monophonic
5. homophonic

Explanation:

A monophonic texture has a single melodic line, meaning that it has no harmony or counterpoint, and it can be played as well as sung, with a single instrument or voice as well as several voices and instruments playing in unison. Whistling a song is an example of monophony.

A homophonic texture has multiple notes at the same time, in the same rhythm, with one clear melodic line, and other parts that provide accompaniment. For example, singing "Sitsiritsit” with a piano accompaniment.

A polyphonic texture presents different autonomous melodies that provide harmony to the piece as separate and independent elements. like the choral rendition of the song, "We are the World".
