    Gregorian Chants were monophonic.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Gregorian Chants were monophonic because they consisted of a single melodic line without any accompanying harmony. This style of chanting originated in the medieval period and was primarily used in Christian liturgical music. The absence of additional voices or instruments allowed for a pure and focused expression of the sacred texts. Monophonic chants were often performed by choirs or soloists in unison, creating a solemn and reverent atmosphere in religious ceremonies.

    • The use of single independent voice types, as combined with one melody line in monophonic singing

    • The use of duet voice types, as combined with one melody line in monophonic singing

    • The use of multiple independent voice types, as opposed to the one melody line in monophonic singing.

    • Multiple use of independent voice type with blended tone

    Correct Answer
    A. The use of multiple independent voice types, as opposed to the one melody line in monophonic singing.
    Explanation
    Polyphonic refers to the use of multiple independent voice types, as opposed to the one melody line in monophonic singing. This means that in polyphonic music, there are multiple voices or parts that are singing or playing different melodies simultaneously, creating a harmonically rich texture. Unlike monophonic singing, where there is only one melody line, polyphonic music allows for the interplay of different voices, creating a more complex and intricate musical composition.
