Depending on the mode and form of the chant, a supporting bass line (or?bourdon) may be sung on the same text, the melody may be followed in parallel motion (parallel organum), or a combination of both of these techniques may be employed. As no real independent second voice exists, this is a form of?heterophony.Heterophony?is a type of?texture?characterized by the simultaneous?variation?of a single?melodic?line. Such a texture can be regarded as a kind of complex?monophony?in which there is only one basic melody, but realized at the same time in multiple?voices, each of which plays the melody differently, either in a different?rhythm?or?tempo, or with various embellishments and elaborations. ?The term was introduced into systematic?musicology?to denote a subcategory of?polyphonic?music, though is now regarded as a textural category in its own right.Singing: Create heterophony on Amazing Grace, class and soloistsO Come, O Come, Emanuel, Tallis: If ye Love Me, both on text and solfegeReview: Ding Dong Diggidiggidong, text and solfegeHomework: None, leave notebooks 2.11.19 Class 9 (Monday)Check: Return notebooksSinging: ltdrmfsltdtlsfmrdtl, letter names, key of D major/B minorReview: Sharps and Flats, order and identification tonic, supertonic, median, subdominant, dominant, submediant, leading tone (subtonic)Boards: timed Circle of Fifths in two teams, competitionListening identification: major and minor chordsDictation: on dry erase papers, grand staff, bass and soprano, DEar Training: play melody class sings back on solfegeListening: Parallel Organum read: Parallel organum handoutSinging Repertoire: Monophony -
