Singing While Working Out Could Help You Lose More Weight. Yes, Really! I have great news for all musical theater majors, former choir kids, and fearless people in general: singing while working out can help you lose weight.
Cacophony literally means harsh, jarring sounds--sounds that do not sound good together. In literature, cacophony is used to refer to words that have a harsh, jarring sound. Instead of the text being rhythmic or pleasant, the text is unmelodious. Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
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.
