Definition: Polyphony in music refers to the style or technique of simultaneously combining several independent melodic lines, each maintaining its individual character and harmonizing with the others. It is a key element in Western classical music.
Etymology and Origin: The term “polyphony” comes from the Greek words “πολύς” (polys), meaning “many,” and “φωνή” (phōnē), meaning “voice” or “sound.” This word was adopted into English in the early 16th century to describe a musical texture consisting of multiple, independent melodic voices.
