Contrapuntal music uses counterpoint; the music consists of two or more melodic strands heard simultaneously. Homo-phonic music only has a single melodic line with accompaniment.
Polyphonic texture is a musical texture where two or more independent melodic lines are played simultaneously. Each line has its own rhythm and pitch, creating a complex and layered sound. Examples include fugues and canons.
