Homorhythm
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Introduction to Sousa's "Washington Post March," m. 1-7<phonos file="Sousa - "Washington Post March," m. 1-7.mid">Play</phonos> features octave doubling[1] and a homorhythmic texture.
In music, homorhythm is a texture where there is a "sameness of rhythm in all parts" [2] or "very similar rhythm" as would be used in simple hymn or chorale settings.[3] Homorhythm is a condition of homophony.[2]
It may also be called chordal style, familiar style, note-against-note style, isometric, and homophonic.[3]
Homophony in Tallis' "If ye love me," composed in 1549. The voices move together using the same rhythm, and the relationship between them creates chords: the excerpt begins and ends with an F major triad. <phonos file="If ye love me.ogg">Play</phonos>
