  2. Quintuple meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintuple_meter

    However, the pattern of beats marking the rotation of the cycle does not necessarily indicate the internal rhythmic organization. For example, although the Jhampā tāla, in its most common miśra variety, is governed by 2+1+2, the most characteristic rhythm of melodies in this tāla is (2+3) + (2+3). [15]

  3. Cinquillo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinquillo

    Placing this rhythm in a 2/4 measure produces a strongly syncopated character from the sustained note which replaces an articulated one on the first quarter of the second beat. Cinquillo is an embellishment of the more basic pattern known as tresillo. Cinquillo is shown twice below. The first one merely displays the note values.

    This example shows that each measure is the length of three quarter notes (crotchets). 3 4 is pronounced as "three-four" or "three-quarter time". Compound time signatures In a compound meter, there is an additional rhythmic grouping within each measure. This example shows 6 8 time, indicating 6 beats per measure, with an eighth note ...

    Pérotin, "Alleluia nativitas", in the third rhythmic mode. In medieval music, the rhythmic modes were set patterns of long and short durations (or rhythms).The value of each note is not determined by the form of the written note (as is the case with more recent European musical notation), but rather by its position within a group of notes written as a single figure called a ligature, and by ...

  6. Tihai - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tihai

    Each "4" represents a rhythmic pattern that is 4 beats long, and each "2" represents a rest that is 2 beats long. (4+2+4+2+4 = 6+6+4 = 12+4 = 16). The start of the next phrase fall exactly on the downbeat. • Another example of Anagat Tihai in a 16 beat phrase might be 2 5 2 5 2 : Two beats of rhythm with 5 beats of rest between them.

  7. Metre (music) - Wikipedia

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

    Metrical rhythm, measured rhythm, and free rhythm are general classes of rhythm and may be distinguished in all aspects of temporality: [14] Metrical rhythm , by far the most common class in Western music, is where each time value is a multiple or fraction of a fixed unit (beat, see paragraph below), and normal accents reoccur regularly ...

  8. Metric modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_modulation

    A technique in which a rhythmic pattern is superposed on another, heterometrically, and then supersedes it and becomes the basic metre. Usually, such time signatures are mutually prime, e.g., 4 4 and 3 8, and so have no common divisors. Thus the change of the basic metre decisively alters the numerical content of the beat, but the minimal ...
