Review Homophonic Texture



Homophonic Texture consists of a melody with chordal accompaniment, or chordal harmony alone.

Pure Homophonic Texture



Chordal harmony alone is also homophonic texture. Even if the original melody were eliminated leaving only the chords from the harmonic ostinato, the texture would still be homophonic. So the harmonic ostinato (shown alone below) is homophonic texture, since chordal harmony is present.
