Polyphony
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.
