	Metre (music) - Definition, explanation
		Metre is the measurement of a musical line into measures of stressed and unstressed beats, indicated in Western notation by a symbol called a time signature.
		A measure has two purposes in Western traditions of music, the first is to block out a series of beatss, and the second is to form the building block of larger sections of music, such as a phrase.
		Metre is often combined with a rhythmic pattern to produce a particular style.

	Metre (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Metre is the measurement of a musical line into measures of stressed and unstressed beats, indicated in Western notation by a symbol called a time signature.
		Issues involving metre in song reflect a combination of musical metre and poetic metre, especially when the song is in a standard verse form.
		One case that illustrates the potential use of this principle across musical genres is The Blind Boys of Alabama's rendition of the hymn Amazing Grace, which is sung to the musical setting made famous by The Animals in their version of the folk song The House of the Rising Sun.

		One suggested defining the metre as the length of a pendulum with a half-period of one second.
		In 1893, the standard metre was first measured with an interferometer by Albert A. Michelson, the inventor of the device and an advocate of using some particular wavelength of light as a standard of distance.
		However, the International Prototype Metre remained the standard until 1960, when the eleventh General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM: Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures) defined the metre in the new SI system as equal to 1,650,763.73 wavelengths of the orange-red emission line in the spectrum of the krypton-86 atom in a vacuum.

	Metre and Tal in North Indian Music
		Metre for the Western musician and musicologist seems therefore to be a simple concept, a supposition which is confirmed by the brevity of entries on metre in music dictionaries such as the New Grove (Grove 6, 1980).
		The relationship between metre and rhythm has two major and complementary aspects: metre is inferred (partly or wholly subjectively) on the basis of the evidence presented by rhythm, (14) while rhythm is interpreted in terms of its relationship to that metre.
		Metre (tal) is an abstract framework primarily constructed in the mind of the performer and represented by a clap pattern and/or a theka, from which it may in turn be reconstructed by a listener.

	Common Metre
		As used in church hymns, metre is the pattern of syllable counts in the lines of a verse.
		Common metre, short metre and long metre are almost always referred to by their letter abbreviations (CM, SM, LM).
		Other metres, of which there are many, are simply referred to by their pattern.

		Time signatures imply strongly accented beats, and others that are less accented, changing time signature changes the pattern of emphasizing notes, either by playing certain notes louder, or by sustaining them as in swing or rubato.
		A stunning example from the rock canon is "Kashmir" by the seminal British hard-rock quartet Led Zeppelin, in which the percussion articulates 4/4 while the melodic instruments present a mesmerizing riff in 3/4.

	Chinese Traditional Music - Rhythm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The time element in music can be described using three concepts: tempo, or the number of beats per minute; metre, the underlying regular division of the beats into strong and weak; and rhythm, which is where strong and weak beats, as played, are placed in relation to the pulse set up by the metre.
		In traditional Chinese music theory metre was described in terms of "ban" and "yan." A strong beat was a "ban" (literally, "board," because it was marked by the sound of a board being struck) being a strong beat and a "yan" (literally "eye") was a weak one.
		As in European music, in four beat metre the first beat was strong, the second (called "tou yan," or "first eye") was weak, the third ("zhong yan," or "middle eye") was half-strong and the last ("mo yan," or "last eye") was weak again.

	Metre and Rhythm
		For if metre is not perceived in the same way by individuals in a group, and is not necessarily explicit in the music, then part of teaching ballet - which relies greatly on coherence between music and movement in groups - must be to "manage" the perception of metre[2].
		Metre is the term used to describe patterns of pulses defined by the prominence of some pulses (by means of accent, for example) over others.
		Though dance music may be responsible for the perceived coincidence between metre and time signature, it is ballet, particularly since the beginning of the 20th century but also even in the 19th century, which challenges this in practice.

		In music, rhythms are usually arranged with respect to the time signature.
		A lot of western classical music is rhythmically fairly simple; it stays in a simple meter such as 4/4 or 3/4 and makes little use of syncopation.
		LaMonte Young also wrote music in which the sense of a regular beat is absent because the music consists only of long sustained tones.

	The Mechanics of Music
		The most common metres in music are those which contain groupings of two, three, or four pulsations; that is, music in which every second, third, or fourth pulsation receives an additional stress or accent.
		Dynamic indications in music must be carefully handled by the performer in terms of the dynamic range of the entire composition, in terms of the style of the music being performed, and in terms of the instrument for which it was written.
		In ancient music the complete pattern of the scale is rarely found in the music, but the scale used as the basis of a particular composition can generally be detected by the presence of certain characteristic melodic formulae.
