  2. Quintuple meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintuple_meter

    In this symphony Chávez made extensive use of the Greek paeonic (or cretic) meter, notated in 5 8 time in the score. [79] The fourth and last movement of Ravel's String Quartet is mostly in 5 8 and 5 4 time, alternating several times with 3 4 time. [80] A fourth example from Ravel is a particularly intense, if brief use of quintuples for ...

  3. Time signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_signature

    Irregular bars are a change in time signature normally for only one bar. Such a bar is most often a bar of 3 4, 5 4 or 2 4 in a 4 4 composition, or a bar of 4 4 in a 3 4 composition, or a bar of 5 8 in a 6 8 composition. If a song is entirely in 4 4 a change to 3 4 will make the song feel like it has skipped a beat, the opposite is true for 5

  4. Note value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Note_value

    Note value. In music notation, a note value indicates the relative duration of a note, using the texture or shape of the notehead, the presence or absence of a stem, and the presence or absence of flags/ beams /hooks/tails. Unmodified note values are fractional powers of two, for example one, one-half, one fourth, etc.

  5. Rest (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rest_(music)

    2 time signature (four half notes per bar), when a double whole (breve) rest was typically used for a bar's rest, and for time signatures shorter than 3 16, when a rest of the actual measure length would be used. [5] Some published (usually earlier) music places the numeral "1" above the rest to confirm the extent of the rest.

  6. Wormhole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole

    A wormhole is a hypothetical structure connecting disparate points in spacetime, and is based on a special solution of the Einstein field equations. [1] A wormhole can be visualized as a tunnel with two ends at separate points in spacetime (i.e., different locations, different points in time, or both). Wormholes are consistent with the general ...

  7. Time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time

    Time is the continued sequence of existence and events that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, and into the future. [1] [2] [3] It is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the ...

  8. Age of the universe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_the_universe

    In physical cosmology, the age of the universe is the time elapsed since the Big Bang.Astronomers have derived two different measurements of the age of the universe: [1] a measurement based on direct observations of an early state of the universe, which indicate an age of 13.787 ± 0.020 billion years as interpreted with the Lambda-CDM concordance model as of 2021; [2] and a measurement based ...

  9. Waltz (music) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waltz_(music)

    In a jazz context, "waltz" signifies any piece of music in 3/4 time, whether intended for dancing or not. [5] Although there are early examples such as the "Missouri Waltz" by Dan and Harvey’s Jazz Band (1918) and the "Jug Band Waltz" or the "Mississippi Waltz" by the Memphis Jug Band (1928), they are exceptional, as almost all jazz before 1955 was in duple meter.
