What does the word "polyphonic" mean in music?
Can anyone give me a simple understandable explanation please.
Polyphony is “pitch-against-pitch” or “sustained-pitch” in one part with melismas of certain lengths in another.
In simple terms, playing more than one note at the same time. When keyboards first came out, like moog synthesizers, you could only play about 5 notes. Not till the 80s did they make keyboards you could play say 10 notes at one time. So it just means, “many voices.”
It has multiple meanings. In vocals it usually refers to harmonizing, when different vocalist sing different notes, usually within a chord.
When referring to instruments, it refers to an instrument that can play multiple notes at the same time. A piano, harp, or guitar are all polyphonic. A trumpet or sax are not.
