Nevertheless, in the POS field alternate is tagged as verb, and noun, and adjective.
One way of thinking about it is that in the Correspondences field we have to settle on one pronunciation, but in the POS field we can take an inclusive view, including heterophonic senses of the word.

Southern gospel convention singing, in turn, is part of a broader musical phenomenon stemming from the Protestant Reformation and Americans' responses to it: the recreational and congregational group singing of sacred music.
This phenomenon has played a central role in the history of Protestant music-making in the United States of America, from the unison and heterophonic psalm-singing of the colonial era through the part-music of the nineteenth century to the unison and homophonic choruses of modern praise-and-worship music.
After almost a century of scholarship devoted to this broader musical phenomenon, the southern gospel convention-singing tradition remains little understood by the larger scholarly community--an anomaly, given its popularity.

 The Far Eastern Audio Review -- Asian Music CD Reviews
Khaen players often use some fingers to play a single chord in a rhythmic drone while simultaneously articulating melody with other fingers.
This single-chord vamp forms the root of electric molam's trance-making groove, in which bass, bells and drums hold down a mid-tempo rhythm while phin, electric guitar and organ intertwine their heterophonic melody lines on top.
At the center of everything is the vocalist ("molam" literally means "master singer"), who does a kind of talk-singing, sometimes singing a single verbal phrase two or three times in a row.

In Yemen, the favored form of paraliturgical songs is the Arabic-inspired sequence of Nashid, Shirah, and Hallel.
The sequence begins with a free and florid solo recitative; continues with a strict rhythmical song in Arabic meter, sung and danced to by a small group of men; and concludes with a florid heterophonic recitation of sacred verses by all the male participants.
Arabic art music, and especially the model system of the maqam with its numerous scales and melodic patterns penetrated every musical activity of the Jews in the Moslem countries, so much so that special synagogue calendars were constructed to enable the cantors to sing their services each Sabbath according to a different maqam.

This would tend to confirm what Giraldus seems to be saying.
On the other hand, it seems to me that he may have been describing the type of heterophonic group singing that is still heard today in the singing of Gaelic psalms.
In that case, each singer sings the same melody line at an individual tempo, and with individual and ornate ornamentation, but all start and end each line on the same note.

After all, it looked, sounded and felt like one of the most dated new works in memory.
If one wants to speak to the kids and tell them that they need new art, don’t hit them over the head with Depeche Mode drums, Stone Roses guitars and Savage Garden pop (even if they insist on heterophonic polyrhythm) without a trace of irony or self-deprecation.
Instead, an alternately bored and irked crowd was lambasted with smug didactism that barely deserved the meek applause it received at curtain call.

The climax of the first one has been shaped by a swift sequence of chords, which subsequently fade away.
The first arch ends at the top point of the second one: the glissandi culminate in a heterophonic quick movement.
The third arch begins at the highest point of the second arch, its entry is "flat" or "horizontal" in spatial terms; thus it does not overlap with the second arch, but rather branches out from it.
