 Texture (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Monophony (base musical texture) is music with just one part (such as Gregorian chant).
Stages in the Evolution of Music -- from monophony to harmony.
In music, the word texture is often used in a rather vague way in reference to the overall sound of a piece of music.

 Baroque Music - Part One
They delighted in music that imitated the sounds of nature and in the character piece, that is, a musical portrait of a friend, colleague or patron.
The principal ensemble instruments in Baroque music, as in all subsequent European art music, are the unfretted (that is, without frets), bowed, string instruments of the violin family.
The full development of instrumental music, that is, music without a text and with no purpose other than being listened to, was a particular achievement of the Baroque era.

 Texture
Music that is composed of an obviously predominant melody, accompanied by harmonic material and/or a clearly less-important melody, is said to have homophonic texture.
"Texture", in music, describes two areas of musical phenomena: (1) melodic and harmonic relationships and (2) the density of the simultaneous layering of different musical components.
Music that is composed of a single line of melody (or a rhythmic line played on a percussion instrument) is said to have monophonic texture.

Music for yoga is such a cliché that you could slap that moniker on a Barry Manilow CD and have it sold as a soundtrack for Downward Facing Dog pose.
This CD is one you'll want to listen to again and again as it is not the usual, run-of-the-mill instrumental music that is being churned out in this genre these days.
The title Music for Yoga and Other Joys doesn't bode well, but then, it has Jai Uttal, a veteran of world fusion going back 15 years and a devotee of kirtan singing teaming up with multi-instrumentalist Ben Leinbach for a series of extended improvisations.

They feature repetitive sounds and textures, are turned around by a certain sense of rhythm and timing, and are colored in such a way that some of them are actually -- not "almost" as he states in his liner notes -- danceable.
