Types
In musical terms, particularly in the fields of music history and music analysis, some common terms for different types of texture are:- Monophonic
- one melodic voice without harmonic accompaniment.
- Biphonic
- two distinct lines, the lower sustaining a drone(constant pitch)while the other line creates a more elaborate melody above it.
- Polyphonic
- multiple melodic voices which are to a considerable extent independent from one another.
- Homophonic
- multiple voices of which one, the melody, stands out prominently and the others form a background of harmonic accompaniment. If all the parts have much the same rhythm, the homophonic texture can also be described as homorhythmic.
- Heterophonic
- two or more voices simultaneously performing variations of the same melody.
- Additive
- a texture most commonly found in rock music that starts off mono or homophonic, and gradually changes and builds up to polyphonic. This also refers to the volume of a song. Read full entry

Perhaps if you put this in the Music section someone with the historical knowledge could think of something. Am not very au fait with Renaissance music, but I always think it is of a more intimate nature and created for smaller rooms than the music, say, commissioned by a duke somewhere in Europe to be played in a very large palace (development of larger groups of players, more intricate structure in the pieces, and longer pieces of music, and louder instruments to carry sound over a greater distance). Also, consider the development of secular music as against church music (Protestant etc) and professional orchestras (and conductors, of course, such as Lully). |

Staccato - these notes are played detached, which means short. One small tap Diminuendo - playing gradually softer, slowly decreasing the volume Crescendo - playing gradually louder Heavy - playing loudly Light - very soft music, played softly Thick - Music that flows together, in one big mass Thin - Simple music, Rich - Lots of notes, lots of flowing, good quality Dense - echoing Sparse - Not alot to it Legato - notes played smoothly, they are tied together |

This is NOT a good question! It is really stupid! If you have to do this for a class, I feel sorry for you! The answer is that, in jazz, you can have ANY timbre (this is the kind of sound- or instrument), ANY texture (some players like Miles Davis and Bill Evans are very sparse, others like Keith Emerson, Tony Williams and Oscar Peterson will just hammer you with a thick coverage of notes) ANY style (I like Latin Jazz and fusion and funk like Ramsey Lewis, others like "cool" jazz, or "smooth" jazz, or West Coast, or East Coast, or Dixieland or classical like Dave Brubeck, or swing like the big band era, etc.) and ANY rhythm (swing, rock, bebop, bossa nova, waltz, 5/4, 9/8, fast, slow, in between, ad infinitum)! |
