During the Middle Ages, the musical texture was monophonic, meaning it has a single melodic line. Sacred vocal music, such as Gregorian chants, was set to Latin text and sung unaccompanied. It was the only type of music allowed in churches, so composers kept the melodies pure and simple. Later on, church choirs added more melodic lines to Gregorian chants.
The Texture of Medieval Renaissance Music
The addition of more melodic lines to the Gregorian chants created polyphonic texture, meaning it has two or more melodic lines.
During the Renaissance, the church had less power over musical activity. Instead, the Kings, Princes and other prominent members of the courts had more influence. The size of church choirs grew, and with it, more voice parts were added — this created music that sounded richer and fuller. Polyphony was widely used during this period, but soon, music also became homophonic.
