I remember these terms from my old music theory days of a zillion years
ago. Homophony refers to a musical texture where all the parts/voices
move together; it's often called "chordal" style.
Monody refers to one particular part/voice dominating the musical
landscape. My recollections might not be accurate, but I think they're
in the ballpark. If not, my apologies.
