Monophony literally means "one sound," although in music it means one melodic line with no accompaniment. Music is also monophonic if a single melodic line is performed by more than one instruments or voices at the same time. If a choir of men and women sing the same melody at the same time, with the women singing an octave higher than the men, the texture is monophonic.
