What does the term polyphony mean? Is it one sounding same sounding mini sounding or no sound?

Answer 1

The term polyphony refers to a musical texture or style in which two or more independent melodic lines or voices are heard simultaneously. Each voice may have different rhythms, melodies, and harmonies, creating a rich and complex musical composition. In polyphonic music, multiple sounds are produced together, creating a harmonically diverse and layered texture.
