Music-theoretical research into textures featuring superimposition of independent layers of music suffers from considerable terminological fragmentation and imprecision, with notions such as "polytonality" remaining ill-defined and subject to semantic controversy. I first review existing research into the topic, highlighting these weaknesses. In order to address them, I then propose a differentiation model, an analytical tool that employs concise, precise and more up-to-date theoretical terminology to describe and quantify the way in which musical strata may be differentiated through divergences in construction. Finally, I apply the differentiation model to excerpts by Ireland, Britten and Vaughan Williams in order to demonstrate its releva...
