Simple quintuple meter can be written in 5. 4 or 5. 8 time, but may also be notated by using regularly alternating bars of triple and duple meters, for example 2. 4 + 3. 4. Compound quintuple meter, with each of its five beats divided into three parts, can similarly be notated using a time signature of 15. 8, by writing triplets on each beat of ...
This is a list of musical compositions or pieces of music that have unusual time signatures. "Unusual" is here defined to be any time signature other than simple time signatures with top numerals of 2, 3, or 4 and bottom numerals of 2, 4, or 8, and compound time signatures with top numerals of 6, 9, or 12 and bottom numerals 4, 8, or 16.
Harmony. Harmonically, "Footprints" takes the form of a 12-bar C minor blues, but this is masked not only by its triple time signature but by its avant garde turnaround. In the key of C minor, a normal turnaround would be Dm 7 (♭5), G 7, Cm 7. But Shorter doubles the harmonic rhythm of the turnaround, and the progression reads: F ♯ m 9 ...
Compound metres are written with a time signature that shows the number of divisions of beats in each bar as opposed to the number of beats. For example, compound duple (two beats, each divided into three) is written as a time signature with a numerator of six, for example, 6 8. Contrast this with the time signature 3
"Living in the Past" is a song by British progressive rock group Jethro Tull. It is one of the band's best-known songs, and it is notable for being written in the unusual 5 4 time signature. The use of quintuple meter is quickly noted from the beginning rhythmic bass pattern, though it can also be explained as a distinct 6 8 + 2 4 syncopated ...
8 marches produce a more dance-like, swing beat that is more prominent and exaggerated than its cut-time cousin. A 6 8 march can be recognized immediately by its common "da-bah-da-bah" or "DA-da-DA-da" sound. An example of a 6 8 march is "The Washington Post March", also by Sousa. 2 4 time is much like cut-time, except fewer notes appear in a ...
Most time signatures consist of two numerals, one stacked above the other: The lower numeral indicates the note value that the signature is counting. This number is always a power of 2 (unless the time signature is irrational), usually 2, 4 or 8, but less often 16 is also used, usually in Baroque music. 2 corresponds to the half note (minim), 4 to the quarter note (crotchet), 8 to the eighth ...
