Homorhythm

Introduction to Sousa's "Washington Post March," m. 1-7Play 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]
