The Heterophonic texture is when you have the same melody playing in the orchestra at the same time, but in different ways. You can think of it as "simultaneous variations".

Maybe your orchestration has a simple 8th note melody in the woodwinds, and then you have a very active and flowing 16th note variation of that line in the violins. When those lines are playing together to create a very rich and complex sounding melody, that's the Heterophonic texture.

We'll start by talking about what the texture is, take a look at an example from Tchaikovsky's 4th Symphony, and then put the theory to use by actually applying the texture to the main theme from Breath of the Wild.
