Fugue
A fugue is a method in vocal composition that establishes a subject or tone using a singular voice. That voice is then mimicked by a number of additional voices in a specific sequence. Generally the first several notes are exactly the same and then the voices veer off only to rejoin the original voice at another point in the composition. A weave-like texture is created by the overlapping of voices and the flow of the composition.
