Homophonic texture is a type of musical texture where a primary melody is accompanied by chords or harmonies. In this texture, the focus is on the melody, while the accompanying parts support it, creating a rich sound. This is commonly found in many genres, including pop music and classical music. In homophonic music, the rhythm of the melody and the accompaniment usually align, making it easy for listeners to follow the main tune. This contrasts with polyphonic texture, where multiple independent melodies are woven together. Homophonic texture is often used in songs, hymns, and other forms of music where clarity of the main melody is essential.
