Why not use \voiceThree and/or \voiceFour, see
https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/learning/i_0027m-hearing-voices.
In other words, replace your definition of TenorMusic by
TenorMusic = \relative {
g1 af2 c2 c2
\new Voice = "melody" {
<<
\new Voice {
\voiceThree
bf4 af4 g1
}
{
\voiceOne
c2 c1
}
>>
}
}
