Musical Textures Intro to Homophonic and Polyphonic music education

For me, Unpainted Souls, has always been about honesty. The soul unpainted if you will. I have endeavored to write from a place of transparency even if I have not always achieved it. At times, life is too painful and I could only hint at the crises inside me. On the other hand, I have at times experienced such joy as to not be able to describe it adequately. Life, Sin and Prayer is a stop on this journey of mine, in which I have documented lost ground and new discoveries. I hope that you enjoy it and in the listening we connect in some meaningful way.

Unpainted Souls is Billy Whiting's on going project which started in 1992. The players in the group come and go which helps to keep the music fresh and new. At the core, Unpainted Souls is about life and the artistic expression of life's struggles and joys. Musically, Billy tries to find that place in music were style is interpreted my the lister. Depending on who you are and what you listen to is what will determine which category you put Unpainted Souls into. Think Hank William's Blues Come Around when the Sun Goes Down, in it you find country, jazz, blues and even rock! Billy played professionally in the 434th Army Band for 4 years but is mostly known for leading and playing worship in local Tampa Bay area churches and occasionally playing Unpainted Souls gigs. He has played most every Sunday for the last 10 years and has also lead a Wednesday night service for 3 years. Unpainted Souls is now expanding it's music to include folk, old-time, bluegrass, rock, and blues, hoping to begin playing music to a wider audience.

Hi Docentino, I think you could say that my explanation is insufficient but then again I was only giving an introduction to the idea of musical textures. As for explaining what homophony means it is best to start with simple ideas like three notes playing the same rhythmic pattern and I doubt that you could come up with such an explanation seeing that you do not have musical experience.

[Docentino]

The explanation of monophony is insufficient - just stating that playing three different notes in a chord is "all the same" (in what way)? I could come up with such explanation, and I'm not a musician.

Also: "two different melody lines playing at the same time" is a definition of Heterophony, isn't it? Polyhony would mean more than Two..

Good effort though. Cheers!

[TheUnpaintedSouls]

@Docentino Heterophony is related to polyphony but is not the same. It is when the same melody is played at the same time but with variants.



[TheUnpaintedSouls]

It is hard but there are great classical guitarists out there that can do it really well. Check out Andres Segovia

[TheUnpaintedSouls]

Please don't hate music. Try to enjoy the mystery. lol

[TheUnpaintedSouls]

You are very welcome.

Thanks! Cleared things a little bit, but a big help nonetheless! :)

@shatteringglass100 - "This sucks. I still don't get it. I hate music" --- LOL!!!!! You really did make me laugh outloud...lol! And I'm in the school library.

I'm just trying to understand why would a person upload a video explaining the differences between homophony and polyphony, but not heterophony and polyphony. I would think those are MORE related to each other than the differences made in this video.

[corbejy1]

It actually did help. Thank you!

[CRUTCHERofTN]

It's hard to show a good example of polyphonic on guitar I'd assume.

[shatteringglass100]

I don't mean your video sucks, btw. lol
