Homorhythm

In music, homorhythm (also homometer) is a texture having a "similarity of rhythm in all parts"[2] or "very similar rhythm" as would be used in simple hymn or chorale settings.

Homorhythmic texture delivers lyrics with clarity and emphasis.

The term is used for compositions in which all the voice-parts move simultaneously in the same rhythm, forming a succession of chords.

[3] Isometric may used to refer to music in which each vocal part has the same number of syllables, with isorythmic being used to refer to music in which each voice has the same rhythm.

The music is used in the psalmsongs of the Orthodox Reformed Churches in the Netherlands, based on the rhythm made by Petrus Datheen (16th century), as well as some other churches.
