B. Lesson Proper

1. Motivation

-The Samals are Muslims who live in Tawi-Tawi, the

southernmost part of the Philippines. Among their
native traditions is the weaving of mats or banig.
They use the leaves of the pandanus, a plant that
grows abundantly in the area. Samal mats have four
general patterns: 1) stripes; 2) multi-coloured
squares;3) a checkered pattern of white and other
colors; and 4) a zigzag pattern.

(The teacher will bring a real woven mat or banig in

the class)

What is this class? A woven mat!

Very good!

It has vibrant colors

How do you describe this woven mat? Yes, Claire.
and is detailed.
Very good! Thank you, Claire.
It has different
Now, can someone touch this banig? Yes, John.
kinds of texture.
What can you feel?
And now class, I will play a popular Ilonggo lullaby
titled “Ili Ili Tulog Anay” performed in three different
versions.

(the teacher will play the song after song in different

versions, respectively.)

Class, take note of the differences in their textures.

Which version of “Ili Ili Tulog Anay” did you like best?
You may have noticed that as more instruments
were added to the performance, the texture of the
music became thicker. (the students will
listen attentively to
the songs)
Because our topic for today is all about Variations of
Textures.

2. Discussion

Just like mats, fabrics, and many different kinds of

cloths, music is made up of one or more “threads” of
sounds that are woven together to produce various
textures. Refers to the relationships between one or
more melodies and other accompanying musical
sounds. This interweaving of melody and harmony
can produce a wide variety of textures, from a
relatively light, thin sound of a voice and flute duet to
the heavier, thick sound of an orchestra playing a
Beethoven symphony.

- But first, you will look at the simplest kind of texture

wherein one melody stands alone, without harmony
or accompaniment. This is called monophony.

Monophonic texture is made up of only one

melody, and this melody does not have a harmonic
accompaniment. In monophonic music, it does not
matter how many performers there are, as long as
they are all singing one and the same melodic line.
Example, a group of singers or instruments, in this
case, is performing in unison.

(the teacher will play a song the students

“Bulaklakan,” a song of the Iraya Mangyan as an
example)

The other kind of texture is called homophonic.

Music that has homophonic texture is made up of
one melody backed up by harmonic accompaniment
(chords). For example, students during a flag
ceremony sing the National Anthem in unison with
piano accompaniment. An orchestra could also play
the National Anthem, and it would still be
homophonic.

Bedouin design (Saudi Arabia)

(the teacher will again play a song “Ili Ili Tulog Anay”
as an example)

While the third and last texture of music is called

polyphony, the combination of two or more melodic
lines sung or played at the same time. In
polyphonic texture, each melodic line can stand
alone and does not need the accompaniment of
chords.

T’boli weave (Mindanao)

(the teacher will play “Magtanim ay Di Biro” in the
class as an example)

Do you understand class? -Yes teacher.

3.Group Activity

At this point, we will be having our group activity: “A

Melody in Many ways.”

(the teacher will divide the class in three groups

according to the three types of texture- Monophonic,
Homophonic, and Polyphonic texture)

Okay, class. You may now go to your group.

What you are going to do is to perform the different

variations of texture based on the assign texture of
your group.

In rating your performance I have here a rubric that

will be the bases of your performance.

4.Generalization

Okay class what is texture?

Yes, Micah!

It is the weaving
together of the
Very Good! melodic and
Texture may be described as thin and light, or thick harmonic elements
and heavy. It is determined by the timbre or tone of a musical
color of the voice(s) or instrument(s) used to perform composition.
the music, the number or size of performers, and the
manner by which one or more melodies are
harmonized.

Always remember class that, musical texture can be

monophonic (one melody without accompaniment);
this is what happens in unison singing. It can be
homophonic (one melody with accompaniment), as
in most choral and instrumental performances of
well-loved songs. It can also be polyphonic (two or
more melodies), like in the case of partner songs,
rounds, canons, and music that make use of
counterpoint and descants.

Now class, why it is important that we need to study

the variations of texture?

Yes, Jolina!
