📚 Get the book! Creative Orchestration by George Frederick McKay geni.us/BawBjz
This texture comes from George Frederick McKay's book Creative Orchestration. It is where you take your lines and add harmonies to them for a richer and fuller sound.
The Chordal texture can be close harmonic voicings or even a richer SATB chorale, the main idea being that your instruments are all functioning together as a singular and balanced unit. For arrangements where the melody and harmony are separate you'll want to check out the homophonic and polythematic textures!
