Music 121
Course Description:
Exploring the World of Music is an introduction to music from a world music
perspective. Based on the concept that all music is created equal, this course explores
how people define, create, value, and use music in cultures around the world. This course
addresses the basic elements of rhythm, melody, timbre, texture, harmony, and form.
Larger themes are also examined, including music and the environment, how we transmit
music as cultural memory, how technology changes music, and how music changes us.
Using a multi-exploration approach, Exploring the World of Music utilizes a twelve-part
television series, companion audio selections, and textbook allowing students to explore
music through the prisms of various cultural and historical perspectives.

Lesson Three: Western Classification of Musical Texture Lesson Three Objectives
4. Western music scholars have classified texture into four main categories: monophony, heterophony, polyphony, and homophony. While musicians and composers in other cultures may not use these terms to categorize their music, they can be used to discuss texture in all musics. Not all music falls neatly into any one of these categories; the model is meant to be flexible.
