From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In music, homorhythm is a texture where there is a "sameness of rhythm in all parts" [1] or "very similar rhythm" as would be used in simple hymn or chorale settings [2]. Homorhythm is a condition of homophony [1].
It may also be called chordal style, familiar style, note-against-note style, isometric, and homophonic [2].
