Best Answer

Polyphonic texture involves multiple independent melodies happening simultaneously, while homophonic texture features a main melody accompanied by supporting chords. In polyphony, each voice has its own melodic interest, creating a more contrapuntal or layered effect, whereas homophony emphasizes the chords supporting the melody.
