Monophony is single-line texture, or melody without accompaniment. It doesn't matter how many people are playing or singing that melody. When you hear one melody without accompaniment, like this Alleluia, you are listening to monophonic texture. After the choir finishes singing "Alleluia," the soloist returns to sing the verse, beginning like the opening "Alleluia" but then moving to a new melody. What best describes the solo verse section?
