"Homophony" refers to the texture of a piece of music. It means that there are two or more parts that move together in harmony to create chords. An example would be a typical four-part hymn. This is the opposite of "polyphony," where each part moves independently (as in a Bach fugue).
To define texture: Texture is how many layers of sound there are and how they relate to each other. Homophony is more than one layer of sound and one layer is dominate over the rest. An example of homophonic music would be melody and accompaniment. Someone singing a melody and a guitar accompaniing them. In this case the singer's melody would be the predominate layer of sound. A concerto is an example of homophony in Classical Music. A solo is played with an orchestra accompianing.
