- In which pieces do you hear just one melody on its own (monodic texture)?
- In which pieces do you hear more than one independent melody (polyphonic texture)?
- In which pieces do you hear a main voice with the others forming the accompaniment (harmonic texture)?
- Copy the following song on to the screen. Once you have heard it, write a 2nd and 3rd voice in the form of a canon (polyphonic texture). The ringed numbers indicate where the voices begin, in which case you will need to complete the 2nd and 3rd voices with rests.
