Six months is actually 18 Scaramouoches, which is actually a long time to reconsider when you think about it. Uncle Mark Itâs a great unit of measure, except saying âScaramucciâ takes longer the actual time a scaramucci lasts
Play (helpÂ·info). In music, polyphony is a texture consisting of two or more simultaneous lines of independent melody, as opposed to a musical texture with just one voice which is called monophony, and in difference from musical texture with one dominant melodic voice accompanied by chords which is called homophony.lso, as opposed to the species terminology of counterpoint, polyphony was generally either pitch-against-pitch / point-against-point or sustained-pitch in one part with melismas of varying lengths in another.
Homophony is when you have multiple parts moving together with the same rhythm to create harmony. Something like this. You can see here that the rhythm on every line is the same, though they do move in contrary motion, have different notes, etc. This creates harmony, and is what makes it homophonic. polyphony however, is when you have separate lines moving with rhythmic independence, like in a counterpoint work, or a fugue.
