Here is the definition of homophony from the Harvard Dictionary of Music: Homophony: Music in which the melodic interest is concentrated in one voice or part that is provided with a subordinate accompaniment, as distinct from Polyphony in which melodic interest is distributed among all parts of a musical texture. The term MAY REFER to a variety of melody-plus-accompaniment textures AS WELL AS TO texture, termed HOMORHYTHMIC, in which all parts move with the same or similar rhythm. Sorry to disappoint you Robert, but I will takethe word of Mr. Randel, the author of the most difinitive music dictionary in print and accept the fact that homorhythm is indeed homophony. Kevin Sutton
