What is the difference between polyphonic and homophonic?
Both the terms 'counterpoint' and 'polyphony' refer to music where there is more than one musical line being played simultaneously. The term 'counterpoint' comes from the use of the word 'point' to describe a melody. A second melody played alongside a 'point' would therefore be running 'counter' to it, thus, the term 'counterpoint'. Polyphony means 'many' (poly) 'sounds' (phony). Again, it refers to music where there are a number of melodies sounding simultaneously. Therefore, the two terms can mean the same thing. In everyday use, musicians tend to use the term 'counterpoint' for styles of composition where there is a strict working of a certain number of voices in a 17th or 18th century style. Of course, modern music can use counterpoint as well. Please note that the word 'voices' doesn't necessarily mean 'singers'. It refers to any melody. Polyphony is a more general term. Therefore, music written in strict counterpoint is polyphonic and polyphonic music will be a form of counterpoint (contrapuntal) but not all polyphonic music is 'strict' counterpoint. Good, easily accessible examples are J.S. Bach's two-part inventions (two-part counterpoint) and His Fugues from 'The Well Tempered Clavier'.
