…is what’s fashionable in terms of: melody rhythm tone color dynamics harmony texture form STYLE Listeners’ tastes determine the nature of each of these elements, and those tastes change throughout the course of history. For example, the 16th century was the “golden age of polyphony,” but homophony was favored in the early 17th century. 17 th century music was based on long, complex melodies; 18 th century listeners preferred simple, short, folk-like melodies.
