  2. Imitation (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imitation_(music)

    Imitation helps provide unity to a composition and is used in forms such as the fugue and canon. The near universality of imitation in polyphonic styles in Western music (and its frequency in homorhythmic, homophonic, and other textures) is evidence enough of its paradoxical value in asserting the individuality of voices.

  3. Micropolyphony - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micropolyphony

    Differences between micropolyphonic texture and conventional polyphonic texture can be explained by Ligeti's own description: Technically speaking I have always approached musical texture through part-writing. Both Atmosphères and Lontano have a dense canonic structure. But you cannot actually hear the polyphony, the canon.

    How “thin” or “thick” the individual layers of tempo, melody, and harmony are in an overall piece of music, e.g. homophony versus polyphony. Texture refers to the overall layering (or separation) of multiple sounds and the resulting quality of sound. It is most commonly referred to as being “thick” or “thin” based on the density ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmosphères

    Ligeti noted that Atmosphères had a polyphonic structure, but one organized by his own rules. The polyphonic structure, he stated, cannot be heard by the listener, but remains "underwater", hidden from the listener. [23] Ligeti coined the term "micropolyphony" to describe this texture.

  9. Homorhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homorhythm

    In music, homorhythm (also homometer) is a texture having a "similarity of rhythm in all parts" [2] or "very similar rhythm" as would be used in simple hymn or chorale settings. [3] Homorhythm is a condition of homophony. [2] All voices sing the same rhythm. This texture results in a homophonic texture, which is a blocked chordal texture.
