Polyphony as a musical style was developed in the late Middle Ages, around the 9th to 11th centuries.
The "Prelude in C Major" is a piece from Johann Sebastian Bach's "The Well-Tempered Clavier," which showcases the Baroque musical style. Characterized by its intricate counterpoint and harmonic exploration, this prelude exemplifies the use of polyphony typical of the Baroque era. It features a flowing, continuous texture that emphasizes both melody and harmony, reflecting the period's emphasis on expressive and structured musical forms.
The term for the musical texture that includes multiple melodic ideas occurring simultaneously is called polyphony.
Polyphony in music composition refers to multiple independent melodic lines playing simultaneously, creating a rich texture. Counterpoint, on the other hand, is a specific technique within polyphony where the different melodic lines interact with each other in a structured and harmonious way, often creating a sense of musical dialogue or interplay.
The musical technique known as leitmotif was developed by composer Richard Wagner.
Polyphony Digital was created on 1998-04-02.

Around the year 1100, the new musical form known as "organum" developed. This early polyphonic style involved adding one or more voices to a plainchant melody, creating harmonic depth. Organum laid the groundwork for the later development of more complex polyphony and was significant in the evolution of Western music. It marked a shift from monophonic chant to more intricate musical textures.
