Polyphony
In music, polyphony is a texture consisting of two or more simultaneous lines of independent melody, as opposed to a musical texture with just one voice which is called monophony, and in difference from musical texture with one dominant melodic voice accompanied by chords which is called homophony.
Within the context of the Western musical tradition, the term is usually used to refer to music of the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. Baroque forms such as fugue, which might be called polyphonic, are usually described instead as contrapuntal. Also, as opposed to the species terminology of counterpoint, polyphony was generally either "pitch-against-pitch" / "point-against-point" or "sustained-pitch" in one part with melismas of varying lengths in another. In all cases the conception was probably what Margaret Bent (1999) calls "dyadic counterpoint", with each part being written generally against one other part, with all parts modified if needed in the end. This point-against-point conception is opposed to "successive composition", where voices were written in an order with each new voice fitting into the whole so far constructed, which was previously assumed.

Believing
by: Corey HartDo you believe in truth or will you, will you
Compromise again
Do you believe in fate can you can you follow
Where she leads
I never thought I'd find myself in better days
Don't give us up , o baby
See the sunlight in your hair caressing, touching over
Don't let us down, o baby, you're the reason I'm still
here
The gift you give so naturally
I will live these precious words
Simply by believing
Do you remember seeing the silhouette
Of Istanbul's blue mosque
Engraving our names together on the white hot sand
We found from the black sea
Hey beneath the cypress trees
You made sweet love with me
Don't give us up, o baby, see you dancing in the sun
Music played on the radio
Don't let us down, o baby, I just can't stand losing
It's getting harder everyday
But I'll get through these troubled times
Simply by believing
All my fears, all your faith in me all your tears will
Fade away
O god, the great dividing walls come crumbling down
My love, the fields of innocence remember you
Don't give us up, o baby
See the sunlight in your hair caressing, touching over
Don't let us down, o baby, you're the reason I'm still
here
The gift you give so naturally
I will live these precious words
Simply by believing
I will live and die for you
