Homophonic Solo Accompaniment

Creator: 
Orion Chamber Orchestra
Description: 

In the galant and classical periods, taste moved away from the layered polyphony of the Baroque period toward homophony, which the melody is played over a subordinate harmony. In this clip, a dreamy lyrical melody played by a solo cello float on top, while a string quartet supports homophonically.
