Cumulative Examples of Vocal Polyphony

Examples on this website are organized by Cumulative and Non-Cumulative forms.

Please read the Definition & Analysis page to understand this list.

An example that has multiple time stamps listed next to one analysis bracket means that the example occurs multiple times at those time stamps. Time stamps separated by a colon means there are multiple different instances of vocal polyphony within that song. For example, the cumulative examples in Taking Back Sunday’s song “Ghost Man on Third” from the 2002 album Tell All Your Friends, the same example of [C, Cp] vocal polyphony occurs at both 0:59 and 2:16. An example of [C, Ct] vocal polyphony occurs at 1:48. There are some cases where multiple different instances may have the same analysis bracket, but the colon separation means that these examples are different in content, despite their matching analysis bracket (see the cumulative examples in “Save Our Selves (The Warning)” by The Blackout on the album The Best In Town (2009)).
