While listening think about the musical elements of melody and harmony. From your research for your powerpoint, you should have
found that melody is a main musical idea. Another way to think of melody is a sequence of an easily recognizable pattern of pitch and rhythm that is generally pleasing to the ear. Harmony is the sounding of more than one note at the same time. There are many different ways to create harmony, and they are directly related to texture. Examples of this can be found in the different types of texture. For example homophonic texture uses harmonies that create blocks of sound below the main melody line. In contrast a polyphonic texture will use the melody or a variety of melodic material to create harmony.
