Polyphony is a type of musical texture where multiple independent melodic lines sound simultaneously. Each distinct voice maintains its own identity while weaving together with others, creating a rich tapestry of interwoven sound, often contrasting with a single melody or Monophony. This intricate interplay of Melody has been a foundational element in Western classical music from the Medieval era onwards.
