What is Texture? - Music Theory

Musical texture explained. Texture is the word we use to describe how sound is organised. Texture might be described as high or low, depending on the pitch; as thick or thin, depending on how many notes are sounding at any one time; as widely spaced, if there is a large gap between the highest and lowest sounds. Texture may also be described as homophonic if the music is essentially organised with a chordal formation (block chords, broken or arpeggiated chords). Alternatively, texture may be described as polyphonic or contrapuntal if the various parts are layered on top of each other. Texture may be consistent within a piece or may vary. This music theory lesson explains these and other possibilities. Ideal for performers wanting to understand the textures they are playing, for those needing to analyse textures or to talk about them in exam aural tests, and for composers needing to think about how to vary textures. 🔴 Subscribe for more videos just like this:    / @musicmattersgb   🎵 Become a Music Matters Maestro: youtube.comhttps://www.seevid.ir/fa/result?ytch=UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg/join 👕 Merch store:    / @musicmattersgb   🕘 Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction to musical texture 0:32 - Thick or thin textures 2:14 - High or low textures 3:15 - Descriptive words for texture 6:32 - Melodic texture 🎓 Learn Music Online with Music Matters Learn music theory, aural tests, composition, sight reading, orchestration and more!
