| | Sonic Glossary: Polyphony |
| | As a result, polyphony may be judged as the most complex of all the musical textures, since it challenges a listener to concentrate on several, equally important layers of sound. | | | The portions that do not use polyphony therefore urge the listener to concentrate on a single melody in the overall texture, rather than on the several layers of sound. | | | The musical lines in a polyphonic texture may be instrumental or vocal, or both. |

| | World Music Central - The Origin of Albanian Folk Iso-polyphony |
| | Hence, until the 40s, despite the lack of genuine research and musical transcriptions on the polyphonic folk music, the polyphony itself used to be a musical universe spreading from birth to death in the life of Southern Albanians, as such being present in all the joys and sorrows. | | | Faik Konica offers a more general consideration on polyphony in 1939, when he wrote that “the songs themselves are somber and monotonous, but they are the only example of the old folk music with varius reciting parts, as in some other parts the folk songs are sung harmonically. | | | With regard to the recordings of the Albanian folk musical polyphony, it should be said that they are not earlier. |

| | Early Polyphony |
| | Polyphony is defined as music in which separate voices sing together, not in unison or octaves but as diverging parts. | | | Singers probably improvised polyphony long before it was first notated. | | | The Winchester Troper is the earliest known practical source (i.e., not a treatise) but its voices are notated in unheighted neumes without staff lines, so that only pieces that also occur in later manuscripts can be reconstructed. |

| | What is monophony, polyphony, homophony, monody etc.? |
| | Polyphony means music with more than one part, and so this indicates simultaneous notes. | | | Monophony means music with a single "part" and a "part" typically means a single vocal melody, but it could mean a single melody on an instrument of one kind or another. | | | Homophony appeared with Burney in 1776, emphasizing the concord of harmonized melody. |

| | The ubiquitous linking of Gregorian chant and sacred polyphony is quite natural — polyphony developed historically from chant. | | | The concept of the beauty of various pitches sounding together blossomed, and polyphony ("many sounds") was born. | | | For many centuries, Church documents, in discussing liturgical music, have linked Gregorian chant with its more recent offspring, "sacred polyphony." The nobility and honored position of each within the liturgy of the Roman Rite is undisputed. |

| | These florid decorative vocalizations at the end of a verse of the organum,or at the end of the whole composition, seem to have provided the soil from which grew the motet, the most important and influential musical form to flourish during the 13th and 14th centuries. | | | But although it stands alone, this unique example is testimony to the birth of a practice which bore within it the seeds of the whole of medieval musical art. | | | The plainsong of the liturgy was the absolute master in this note by note 'diaphony' and the second voice, the vox organalis,was in a state of absolute submission; nevertheless the fundamental procedure of polyphony had been created. |
