During the Renaissance, polyphony emerged as the dominant compositional technique, characterized by the simultaneous combination of multiple independent melodies. This marked a significant shift from the earlier monophonic plainchant and monody styles, allowing for greater complexity and richness in musical texture. Isorhythm, while used, was less prevalent compared to the widespread adoption of polyphonic techniques in vocal music, particularly in sacred compositions.

Some of them planted crops, tended livestock, dug ditches, or made bricks, pretty much like their ancestors before the Renaissance. But an increasing number of people were learning to read, inventing things, painting pictures, and composing songs in polyphony--both motets (religious) and madrigals (secular).

Organum is a compositional style that originated in medieval music, specifically in the Notre Dame school of polyphony. It involves adding a second voice to a preexisting plainchant melody at a fixed interval, usually a perfect fifth or fourth. This results in parallel motion and adds harmonic richness to the original monophonic chant.

False.
Renaissance music started to use more polyphony than monophonic. It also started to have music in the background, compared to a Capella. The music was used to entertainment and not just for religious purposes.
Polyphony is a musical texture that consists of multiple independent melodic lines or voices sounding simultaneously. Each line is often unique and harmonically interwoven with the others, creating a rich and complex musical fabric. Polyphony is commonly found in classical music, especially in works from the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
