so pretty much, if you had a melody played over one chord it would be an example of homophonic texture. Also Bagpipe music has a lot of homophonic texture in the concert Bb that plays under every note.
Homophonic texture is where all of the parts in the music move at the same time, so most music that you would listen to could be considered homophonic. Some examples include the majority of modern popular music (almost all pop, rock, blues, etc.) or anything that is not Polyphonic or Monophonic from any period. A Gregorian Chant would be homophonic. As would a minuet and trio. The list is practically endless.
Polyphonic is where parts are interwoven and not played/sung at the same time and is very distinctive. Examples would be fugues, sonatas, canons or rounds.
Monophonic is just one voice or part for example somebody whistling a tune.
homphonic texture is when there is a melody line and then chords to support the melody. maybe like a voice and piano chords to accompany the song.
Largely homophonic although there are lines of monophony.
