while high sch musical , their music was at first monophonic but more people joined in the singing and so it became polyphonic . the different textures of the song makes the song nice .
"You are the new day" by King Singers is monophonic from the start of the song.but after awhile,another singer join in singing a different melody so it is homophonic after that.although the background does not really have music,but their tone of voice make it different.
"You are the Music in Me" from High School Musical is also monophonic at first too.but after awhile,another two singers join in to sing the song so it is polyphonic after thet as the tone/melody of the person is different.

Celine Dion - My heart will go on has very thin texture which is homophonic. The melodies are not duplicate. However, sometimes the singer used to stop singing and the instrument plays. This song is very mellow and smooth.
Green Day - Wake Me Up When September Ends. This song is getting thicker and thicker as the song goes on.
In the beginning, the melody is monophonic and as it go on, it becomes homophonic with echo of drums,guitars,tambourine. However, in the mid, the melody stops and only guitar plays and the melody starts again with full option.~
