Texture & Vocal Arrangement

Here are the 3 textures we have learned:

MONOPHONIC HOMOPHONIC POLYPHONIC

Listen to this song and next to each section of the song write what texture(s) is/are being used. You might
find that some are used more than once, and some last longer than others. If you're not sure, write a little
note about what you think the answer is and why.

HALLELUJAH – Pentatonix: https://video.link/w/zeONb

Even though this performance is A Capella, the vocalists can create different textures.
Note: The addition of drums/percussion doesn’t change the texture, so the addition of
vocal-percussion/beat-boxing/body-percussion doesn’t change the texture.

LYRICS VOCAL ARRANGEMENT TEXTURE

I've heard there was a secret chord solo lead singer #1 Monophonic
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya? lead singer + backing vocals, Homophonic
Well it goes like this: the fourth, the fifth harmony
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah lead singer + backing vocals, Homophonic
Hallelujah, Hallelujah harmony
Well, your faith was strong, but you needed proof lead singer #2 + backing vocals, Homophonic
You saw her bathing on the roof harmony
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to the kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah lead singer + backing vocals, Homophonic
Hallelujah, Hallelujah harmony
Well baby, I've been here before lead singer #3 + backing vocals, Homophonic
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor harmony, body percussion
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah lead singer + backing vocals, Homophonic
Hallelujah, Hallelujah harmony
Well, maybe there's a God above solo lead singer #4 Monophonic
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya lead singer + backing vocals, Homophonic
And it's not a cry that you hear at night harmony
It's not somebody who has seen the Light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah all voices in unison except bass Polyphonic
Hallelujah, Hallelujah voice has harmony notes, body
percussion
Hallelujah, Hallelujah all sing different melodic parts, Polyphonic
Hallelujah, Hallelujah body percussion
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
mmm harmony
