What are the three basic musical textures?
This document covers the three musical textures we will encounter in our studies: monophony, polyphony, and homophony.
When two melodies are played at the same time the texture is?
polyphony
polyphony, in music, the simultaneous combination of two or more tones or melodic lines (the term derives from the Greek word for “many sounds”).
What is it called when two songs are mixed together?
A mashup (also mesh, mash up, mash-up, blend, bastard pop or bootleg) is a creative work, usually in a form of a song, created by blending two or more pre-recorded songs, typically by superimposing the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the instrumental track of another, changing the tempo and key where necessary.
What song is polyphonic?
An example of polyphony would be the song “This Is How We Do It” by Montell Jordan. Another great example of polyphony would be “Ghetto Gospel” by Tupac. Both of these songs have interdependent choruses which align with the hip hop style of each of the artists, illustrating counterpoint.
How do you feel when you hear music?
The subjective experience of music across cultures can be mapped within at least 13 overarching feelings: amusement, joy, eroticism, beauty, relaxation, sadness, dreaminess, triumph, anxiety, scariness, annoyance, defiance, and feeling pumped up.
What is the most common musical texture?
homophonic texture
The most common texture in Western music: melody and accompaniment. Multiple voices of which one, the melody, stands out prominently and the others form a background of harmonic accompaniment. If all the parts have much the same rhythm, the homophonic texture can also be described as homorhythmic.
What is the end of a piece of music called?
Coda. Coda (Italian for “tail”, plural code) is a term used in music in a number of different senses, primarily to designate a passage which brings a piece (or one movement thereof) to a conclusion.
What is it called when everyone sings at the same time?
Probably quodlibet is the term you are looking for, even if not restricted to singing.
