What is a texture of solo voice or instrument with a chordal accompaniment called?
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.
When a melodic idea is presented by one voice or instrument and then restated immediately by another voice or instrument what is the technique is called?
this is called a sequence.probie :)----Or, imitation, if it is the same intervallically.Sequence generally is used for segments of a melody that transposes itself either up or down in an even harmonic progression.Imitation can lead to several things in renaissance/baroque/early classical music..1. it's a round [row, row, row your boat]2. It's a canon [like canon in D by pachelbel]3. it's a fugue [the answer to the subject will be transposed up a 5th to the dominant]4. imitation = just a melodic device used to "echo" the motive.hope that helps.
