polyphonic texture
When two or more melodic lines of equal interest are performed simultaneously, the texture is referred to as polyphonic. This texture allows for multiple independent melodies to weave together, creating a rich and complex musical experience. Each line maintains its individuality while contributing to the overall harmony and rhythm of the piece. Examples of polyphonic texture can be found in works like fugues and canons.

Simultaneous performance of two or more melodic lines of relatively equal interest produces the texture called polyphonic, meaning having many sounds. In polyphony several melodic lines compete for attention. The technique of combining several melodic lines into a meaningful whole is called counterpoint or contracanto.
