		Compounding the consequent uncertainty is the well-established absence of a requirement for the hemiola to be articulated by both outer voices: The bass may not necessarily support the suggestion of a hemiola by the upper voice, and the upper voice will not necessarily corroborate its realization by the bass.
		Because it is usually the second hemiola that enlists the cadential support of the bass, it brings the formation to a decisive close and at the same time sends out the signal that it has neutralized and absorbed the first hemiola.
		From this perspective, the Musette's overlapping hemiolas are particularly noteworthy for they introduce the third change in design within the six- and eight-bar groups in which they occur (bars 1-6 and 7-14; the hemiolas are first suggested, in germinal form, by the chordal pairs in bars 5-6).

		In modern musical parlance, a hemiola is a metrical pattern in whichtwo bars in triple time (3/2 or 3/4 for example) are articulated as if they were three bars in duple time (2/2 or 2/4).
		It was originally used in musicto refer to the frequency ratio 3:2; that is, the interval of a justly tuned perfect fifth.
		This usage was later extended to its modern sense of two bars in triple time articulated or phrased as if they were threebars in duple time.

	Hemiola (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In early music, this term meant the ratio of 3:2, employed musically in two senses: the ratio of the perfect fifth, whose musical value is 3:2, and the rhythmic relation of three notes in the time of two, i.e., the triplet.
		In the Baroque era hemiola was used in dance music in the sense that it denoted the articulation of two measures of triple meter as if they were three measures of duple meter.
		In later music, especially Viennese waltzes the use of hemiola was common, in the sense of playing duplets in one part of the music, over which another part of the music is playing triplets.

		[2] Among the difficulties of observing the hemiola and approaching it from a theoretical or analytical perspective is the high degree of uncertainty (not to say ambiguity) that surrounds its articulation.
		Not only is the fifth, strong internal beat of the hemiola elided--it is subsequently contradicted by the third beat of bar 6, which initiates a faster melodic pace of quarter notes.
		Even though the hemiolas in each piece appear at the close of a phrase, one could make a plausible case for reading them as constellations of overlapping hemiolas.

		The term hemiola (from the Greek, 'one-and-a-half') may also be used where, in a triple time rhythm, two bars are arranged to have three beats where the middle beat is tied across the bar-line; so, for example, in a piece in 3/4, two bars are made up of three minims.

		For this reason, however, in a sarabande the (relative) accentuation of the second beat is insufficient to imply a hemiola.
		Another way of putting it is that a more complete analysis of hemiola even in a single short work of Handel might include references to similar formations in related pieces and to the ways in which the analyst has heard them performed (or imagines their being performed).
		My intention has been to suggest how, on the particular question of how one hears hemiolas, one might incorporate the listener into the analysis--that is, how the varying types of knowledge and listening experience that each listener brings to an audition of a piece might be taken account of.

		A hemiola is a 4/4 beat played over a 6/8 beat or vice versa.
		For instance if you were playing a basic 6/8 beat on the hi-hat, with the snare on the fourth beat, then you could play the bass drum on the first beat and in between the second and third beat, along with the fourth beat and the sixth beat to make the rythym a hemiola.

		These cheerful hemiola rhythms contain the three-note group and the six-pitch row that provides Wolpe with virtually all the material that he will need to both construct and destroy the waltz edifice.
		In addition the duple meter of the opening Straussian hemiola holds full sway, so in the violence of the passage, the concept of waltz has been utterly demolished.

		A hemiola is where two notes take up the same amount of time as three – either played at the same time or with the two rhythms following one another.
		Sometimes the 1 2 3 4 5 6 rhythm is played at the same time as the 1 2 3 4 5 6 rhythm – a hemiola style that has been used a great deal in classical, pop and jazz.

		Any kind of local ``counter-rhythm'' in music is called a ``hemiola'', whether the counter-rhythm consists of groups of 2 beats in triple meters, or groups of 3 beats in duple meters, or any other kind of ``counter-rhythm''.
		All the types of baroque music in which interesting rhythmical patterns are present which repeat periodically, are always pieces which consist of a regular structure in terms of ``phrases''.
		The above pattern of 4 bars of 3 beats each, the middle two bars of which form a hemiola of 2+2+2 beats, is a kind of ``standard pattern'' in triple meter Baroque music.

	Glossary: Hemiola \| Sweetwater.com
		In common use this refers to two measures in the time signature 3/4, containing 3 distinct half notes, so that the middle note is tied across the measure line.
		The word hemiola derives from the Greek "hemiolios", meaning "one and a half." It was originally used in music to refer to the frequency ratio 3:2; that is the interval of a perfect fifth.
		An excellent example of hemiola in action is Carl Orff's 1936 classic "Carmina Burana," especially its dramatic opening and closing song, "O Fortuna." The chorus of doom is singing with a distinct 1-2-3, 1-2-3 count while the bass line is moving along counting 1-2, 1-2, 1-2.

	Re: [Finale] half rests in 6/4? - back to the original question, please!
		To me that's a mix-up that demonstrates a lack of understanding of the entire functional basis of hemiola, a rhythmic slowing (something of a metrical modulation, to use a more modern term), whereas this reverse hemiola speeds up the beat.
		Last of all, the main function of hemiola, traditionally, was a pre- cadential slowing of the harmonic rhythm, to mark cadentially significant points.
		Calling the 3/4 vs. 6/8 shift the same thing obscures extraordinarily important distinctions, and leaves out essential aspects of the mechanism involved in defining the hemiola functionally.
