Texture
In Any given song, we have an ensemble, which has a certain instrumentation, made up of a number of Timbres.
BUT
Not all of those instruments are always playing at the same time
OR
Not all of the timbres can be heard simultaneously (at least for parts of the song)
Texture is defined by How many timbres we can actually hear at one time , in any given moment of the song
