1. Texture The way melody, harmony, and rhythm are woven together. How dense? Thick Thin

2. Range Distance between the highest and lowest intervals. Wide

3. Range Distance between the highest and lowest intervals. Narrow

4. Types of Texture Single melodic line. Monophonic Polyphonic Homophonic Chordal Heterophonic

5. Types of Texture Monophonic Single melodic line.

6. Types of Texture Single melodic line. Monophonic Polyphonic independently of each other, or in imitation. Two or more lines moving Polyphonic Chordal Heterophonic

7. Types of Texture Polyphonic independently of each other, or in imitation. Two or more lines moving

8. Types of Texture Polyphonic independently of each other, or in imitation. Two or more lines moving

9. Types of Texture Polyphonic independently of each other, or in imitation. Two or more lines moving

10. Types of Texture Polyphonic independently of each other, or in imitation. Two or more lines moving

11. Types of Texture Single melodic line. Monophonic Polyphonic independently of each other, or in imitation. Two or more lines moving Homophonic Accompaniment = rhythmic & harmonic support. Melody and accompaniment. Chordal Heterophonic

12. Types of Texture Homophonic Accompaniment = rhythmic & harmonic support. Melody and accompaniment.

13. Types of Texture Homophonic Accompaniment = rhythmic & harmonic support. Melody and accompaniment.

14. Types of Texture Homophonic Accompaniment = rhythmic & harmonic support. Melody and accompaniment.

15. Types of Texture Single melodic line. Monophonic Polyphonic independently of each other, or in imitation. Two or more lines moving Homophonic Accompaniment = rhythmic & harmonic support. Melody and accompaniment. Also homorhythmic similar Chordal rhythm in all parts. Hymnic, may not have melody Heterophonic

16. Types of Texture Chordal rhythm in all parts. Hymnic, may not have melody Also homorhythmic similar

17. Textual Elements Primary Melody (PM) line(s) in a piece of music. Most important melodic Homophonic usually one Polyphonic may be more than one

18. Types of Texture Single melodic line. Monophonic Polyphonic independently of each other, or in imitation. Two or more lines moving Homophonic Accompaniment = rhythmic & harmonic support. Melody and accompaniment. Also homorhythmic similar Chordal rhythm in all parts. Hymnic, may not have melody Single melodic line, multiple variations at same time. Heterophonic

19. Textual Elements Primary Melody (PM) line(s) in a piece of music. Most important melodic Homophonic usually one Polyphonic may be more than one

20. Textual Elements Primary Melody (PM) line(s) in a piece of music. Most important melodic Homophonic usually one Polyphonic may be more than one

21. Textual Elements Secondary Melody (SM) not as important as the PM. A melodic line that is

22. Textual Elements Parallel Supporting Melody (PSM) Melodies similar in contour to PM, often keep a parallel interval relationship.

23. Textual Elements Parallel Supporting Melody (PSM) Melodies similar in contour to PM, often keep a parallel interval relationship.

24. Textual Elements Static Supports (SS) Sustained chords, pedal tones, repeated melodic or rhythmic figures.

25. Textual Elements Static Supports (SS) Sustained chords, pedal tones, repeated melodic or rhythmic figures.

26. Textual Elements Harmonic and Rhythmic Support (HS, RS, HRS) Textural elements that support the melody rhythmically, harmonically, or both.
