Music Texture Terms
-
Monophonic: Characterized by a single melody line played by one instrument or voice without harmonic accompaniment. Commonly found in solo performances or unaccompanied vocal music.
-
Homophonic: Consists of a primary melody accompanied by chords or additional harmonies. This texture creates a full sound where the focus remains on the main melody.
-
Polyphonic: Involves multiple independent melody lines occurring simultaneously. Each melody retains its individuality, creating a rich and complex sound texture.
Intervals in Music
-
Conjunct Interval: Refers to musical notes that are adjacent to each other in pitch, typically resulting in a smoother, more connected sound. These are often steps in a scale.
-
Disjunct Interval: Involves notes that are separated by larger distances, producing a more dramatic or jarring effect in music. This can lead to greater contrast and dynamic expression.
