How did polyphony originate?
Polyphonic compositions started in about the Baroque period, with Bach and Handel. Monophonic compositions-Medieval, one simple melody. Homophonic compositions-Reneissance, one melody accompanied by chords. Polyphonic compositions-Baroque, many melodies at the same time, SATB (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) compositions start.
Where can you find Chinese compositions on any title For secondary students?

What are the pieces of mucsic Mozart wrote?
I can't answer that because he made 626 compositions. BUT..... one of his most famous compositions of all times is the Magic Flute.
What are the 4 textures and 4 compositions about igneous rocks?
in geology
Besides being classified by their compositions how else are rocks classified?
by their texture. : )
Do all rocks have unique textures?
yes because they have different chemical compositions
What igneous compositions has the lowest silica content mafic ultra mafic intermediate or felsic?
Mafic igneous compositions have the lowest silica content, followed by ultramafic compositions. Mafic rocks are rich in magnesium and iron and have silica contents ranging from 45-52%. Ultramafic rocks have even lower silica content, typically below 45%.
What are rocks with stripes called?
Rocks with stripes are known as banded rocks or striped rocks. These stripes are often caused by the layering of different minerals or the presence of alternating bands of different mineral compositions within the rock.
What is the significance of the dieke diagram in the field of geology?
The Dieke diagram is significant in geology because it helps to visualize and understand the relationships between different minerals and their compositions in rocks. It is a useful tool for geologists to interpret the origins and histories of rocks based on their mineral compositions.
What is the process through which single parent magma can form rocks with different compositions?
The process through which single parent magma can form rocks with different compositions is known as fractional crystallization. It occurs as the magma cools and solidifies, with different minerals crystallizing at different temperatures. As these minerals crystallize and settle out of the magma, they can form different rock compositions depending on the minerals that have formed. This process can produce a range of rock compositions from a single parent magma.
When old rocks are partially melted or squeezed what rocks are formed?
When old rocks are partially melted or squeezed, they can form metamorphic rocks. Examples include gneiss, schist, and marble. These rocks exhibit new textures and compositions due to the heat and pressure they have experienced.
How are magma and igneous rock compositions categorized?
They are classified by the amount of silica vs the amount of alkalies are in the rocks or magma.
Andesitic rocks have mineral compositions between those of basaltic rocks and?
granitic rocks. They are typically intermediate in silica content and often contain minerals such as feldspar, amphibole, and pyroxene. Andesitic rocks are associated with volcanic activity at convergent plate boundaries.
Are mafic rocks more or less dense than flesic rocks?
Mafic rocks are generally denser than felsic rocks due to their higher content of iron and magnesium minerals. This higher density is attributed to the presence of heavier elements in mafic compositions.
What determines the size of grains in igneous rocks?
The cooling rate of molten rock
