Homorhythm

In music, homorhythm is a texture where there is a "sameness of rhythm in all parts" or "very similar rhythm" as would be used in simple hymn or chorale settings. All voices sing the same rhythm. This texture results in a homophonic texture, which is a blocked chordal texture.

Homorhythmic texture delivers the text with clarity and emphasis.

It may also be called chordal style, familiar style, note-against-note style, isometric, and homophonic.
