Various accompaniment types are possible, including homorhythmic, blocked-chord, and arpeggiated accompaniments (Alberti bass or broken chord). Homorhythmic accompaniments (also called chorale texture) have the same rhythm as the melody line.

When a soloist plays a concerto the orchestra are accompanying the soloist. An organist playing a hymn is accompanying the congregation. A percussion player in a rock band is accompanying the lead instrument. Guitars and electric keyboards are often used for accompaniment.

The accompaniment in your musical instrument consists of a rhythm part that uses drums and other percussion, and a chord part that uses various musical instruments based on your chords. When you use the accompaniment, you can play just the rhythm part, or both parts at the same time.

In a musical sense, accompany means to play background music for the lead singer or soloist.

Or, if you want your friend to play piano while you sing a song, you could ask her to accompany you on piano.

If you know your chords, it shouldn't take much more than five minutes to complete a rough-and-ready harmonization. (You can then spend more time tweaking the harmonies to your liking.)
