There is often some confusion between the terms monophony and monody. Monody is a term with a definite historical origin. The 16th century madrigal was a polyphonic secular song form, with melodic interest shared between the (most frequently 5) voices.olyphony means music with more than one part, and so this indicates simultaneous notes.
