In music, homophony (/həˈmɒfəni, hoʊ-, -ˈmɒfni/;Greek: ὁμόφωνος, homóphōnos, from ὁμός, homós, "same" and φωνή, phōnē, "sound, tone") is a texture in which a primary part is supported by one or more additional strands that flesh out the harmony and often provide rhythmic contrast. This differentiation of roles contrasts with equal-voice polyphony (in which similar lines move with rhythmic and melodic independence to form an even texture) and monophony (in which all parts move in unison or octaves). Historically, homophony and its differentiated roles for parts emerged in tandem with tonality, which gave distinct harmonic functions to the soprano, bass and inner voices.
A homophonic texture may be homorhythmic, which means that all parts have the same rhythm.Chorale texture is another variant of homophony. The most common type of homophony is melody-dominated homophony, in which one voice, often the highest, plays a distinct melody, and the accompanying voices work together to articulate an underlying harmony.
This is an example a short example of a piece that uses Monophonic, Homophonic, and Polyphonic Texture. Which is your favorite?

What is Homophonic Texture?
A homophonic texture is perhaps the most common texture we are likely to find in any piece of music. When a piece of music has a very clearly melody and chords supporting it - chances are it is a homophonic texture.
