Which of the following defines polyphony?
Polyphony is a type of musical texture consisting of two or more simultaneous lines of independent melody, as opposed to a musical texture with just one voice, monophony, or a texture with one dominant melodic voice accompanied by chords, homophony.
Is the horizontal thread while a diagonal thread results from?
In weaving twill, the weft thread (the horizontal thread) is woven over one or more warp threads (the vertical thread held taught on a loom) and then under one or more warp threads. Each row is offset from the one above, which creates the diagonal pattern.
What describes the texture in which all the voices move in the same rhythm?
Polyphony describes a many-voiced texture based on counterpoint—one line set against another. Homophony occurs when one melodic voice is prominent over the accompanying lines, or voices; homorhythmic texture is a subcategory of homophony in which all the voices move in the same rhythm.
