Texture: The fabric of Music
Subject: Music
Course / Level: 3º ESO
Title of the Unit: Musical texture
Learning outcomes:
- Revise the definitions of the different kinds of textures.
- Identify every texture with its representation in the musical language in the score.
- Identify each texture by a listening exercise.
Subject content: Types of musical textures:
- Unison or monophonic
- Polyphonic or contrapuntal music
- Homophonic
- Heterophonic
- Melody and accompaniment
Methodology:
- The methodology will be active and participatory.
- Groupings: individual work, pairs and plenary.
- Timing: one session of 55 minutes.
- Activities:
- Introductory activity of presentation of the theory (input section): different types of textures showing their representation in the score and also aurally, using classical and popular music (15 min.)
Is the musical weave or
fabric of a piece. In music, texture refers to the way multiple voices (or
instruments) interact in a composition.
Types of Musical Texture
Although there are
multiple ways of describing texture in music, we will focus on five particular
types:
1. Monophonic
Literally meaning
"one sound," monophonic texture describes music consisting of a
single melodic line. Whether it is sung/played by one person or many, as long
as the same notes and rhythms are being performed, monophonic texture results.
Where might you
encounter monophonic texture?
- Unison
singing at a religious service
- "Happy
Birthday" at a birthday party
- A composition for solo flute
A graphic representation
of monophony may look like this:
Polyphonic texture
describes a musical texture in which two or more melodic lines of relatively
equal importance are performed simultaneously. The clearest example of
counterpoint or polyphonic texture is the canon.
Where might one encounter
polyphonic texture?
- Vocal
and instrumental music from the Renaissance through the Baroque.
- Music for large instrumental
ensembles
- Religious choral music
- A canon.
A graphic representation
of polyphony may look like this:
3. Homophonic
Homophonic texture is a
type of harmonic texture in which the voices move at once creating blocks of
chords. It is also called "homorhythmic" because the voices also move
at the same time. This texture is perceived as a dense and homogeneous block of
sound.
A graphic representation
of homophony may look like this:
Heterophonic texture is
rarely encountered in western music. It consists of a single melody, performed
by two or more musicians, with slight or not-so-slight variations from
performer to performer. These variations usually result from ornamentation being added
spontaneously by the performers. Heterophony is mostly found in the music of
nonwestern cultures such as Native American, Middle Eastern, and South African.
A graphic representation
of heterophony may look like this:
5. Accompanied melody
Accompanied melody is
the texture we encounter most often. It consists of a single, dominating melody
that is accompanied by chords. Sometimes the chords move at the same rhythm as
the melody; other times the chords are made up of voices that move in
counterpoint to each other.
Where might one
encounter accompanied melody?
- Most
popular music styles (rock, folk, country, jazz,etc.)
- Accompanied
vocal music from the Middle Ages to
the present
- Hymn
singing during a religious service

- Answer individually a true or false excercise related to the topic. (5 min.)
a) A musical composition only has one kind of texture.
b) Gregorian chants are an example of a plyphonic texture.
c) The homophonic texture is formed of various melodic lines of equal importance that progress independently with the same rhythm.
d) The texture of an accomplanied melody is of the kind in which there are no chords played along with the melody.
e) Heterophony is a variant of the monophonic texture.
- Activity in pairs: listening differents excerpts of music, one student ask and the other answers orally to the questions (10 min.)
- What instrument interprets the melody? what other instrument can you hear? Identify the families to which the instruments belong to.
- How many melodic lines can you hear?
- Does it have any kind of accompaniment or is it a cappella?
- What kind of texture can you identify in each part?
- Can you describe the type of texture with adjectives?
- Match every texture with its visual representation. Plenary and oral activity. (5 min.) http://LearningApps.org/display?v=psu2fk0oc01
- Add a second melody to create a song with an specific musical texture (the first melody is provided). Then play the (with the recorder or other melodic instrument) the two part song with a partner (20 min.)
