 Handel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
The appearance of the same subject beginning at different parts of the bars allows the text to be emphasised in different ways since the stress on the 1st beat of the bar falls on different syllables.
Subject 2 (for 'and cast away...') has three motives; falling 3rds covering a 7th, semiquaver runs and a hammering idea.
From 35 - 43 the subject appears in stretto and the semiquaver runs are extended.

 Note Values
A semiquaver lasts for half as long as a quaver.
The notation for writing these is similar to as for a semiquaver, but with a third mark on the vertical staff of the note.
For example, something such as a 1/64 note is likely to occur in a passage of very short notes within a piece of music at a relatively slow tempo.

 Semiquaver   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
In music, a sixteenth note or semiquaver (alsooccasionally known as a demiquaver) is a note played for one sixteenth theduration of a whole note, hence the name.
A similar symbol is thesixteenth rest (or semiquaver rest), which denotes a silence for the same duration.
As with allnotes with stems, sixteenth notes are drawn with stems to the right of the notehead, facing up, when they are below the middleline of the musical staff.

 Chapter 5. - XXVII.
By the statutes, bulls, and patents of Queen Whims, they were all dressed like so many house-burners, except that, as in Anjou your bricklayers use to quilt their knees when they tile houses, so these holy friars had usually quilted bellies, and thick quilted paunches were among them in much repute.
The last went before, carried by a semi-quavering friar, at whose heels was another, with the shadow or image of Virtue in one hand and an holy-water sprinkle in the other--I mean of that holy mercurial water which Ovid describes in his Fasti.
Friar John des Entoumeures, having shrewdly observed these jolly Semiquaver Friars, and had a full account of their statutes, lost all patience, and cried out aloud: Bounce tail, and God ha' mercy guts; if every fool should wear a bauble, fuel would be dear.

 An Andriessen Glossary
Because of the way he emphasizes the first beat of the bar (either with an accent, or because melody notes change on that beat) we are aware of the larger 'beats' created by the barlines, in addition to the faster ticking of the woodblocks' semiquavers (see Interlocking speeds, below).
The first gear change happens because the duration of the bar remains the same, but instead of having five semiquavers in it, it now has six (which, obviously, will be faster in the ratio 5:6).
The second type of metric modulation happens when the semiquaver pulse remains the same, but the bar lengths contract.

 Bach's Notation of Tempo and Early-Music Performance by Bernard D. Sherman   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
Sometimes a score with semiquavers will be marked C in one incarnation (the Sanctus of the B Minor Mass) and ¢ in another (the score and most parts of the 1724 Sanctus).
hen the prevailing note value is the semiquaver - twice as small a note as is usual for ¢ - the signature would seem, by the principles described earlier, to slow the minim pulse and indicate a faster-than-ordinary crotchet (4/4) pulse.
Flautists attest that the semiquavers put a limit on the tempo of the 'Qui tollis' (moreover, the 'Qui tollis' flute obbligatos are imitative, which may limit the tempo further).

 It Was A Dork And Strummy Knight
While it was undeniable that Semiquaver was fourteen years old and so of marriageable age, Major Seventh Flat-Five was uncomfortable about the looks she exchanged with Sir Gregorio.
Whatever the case might have been, Semiquaver was charmed by the not unhandsome passer-through and conceded a kiss from time to time as seemed to fit the rhythm of the chant and the mood of the melody.
Burgmeister Major Seventh Flat-Five, his wife Augmented, his children Semiquaver and Diminuendo, Sir Gregorio Chant and his dork Ostinato, Sforzando the fletcher cum bandit, and the barber, name of Gavotte, who had just wandered in out of curiosity, sat down to a dumpling dinner over which the future was discussed.

 Guitar Tricks - strumming patterns
Play downstrokes on quaver beats and upstrokes at the semiquaver beats, if you get my meaning; ie, count every quaver as a downbeat and every odd semiquaver as an upbeat.
The second downbeat should last for a dotted quaver though, taking you a semiquaver in to the next beat.
Immediately play an upstroke on the odd semiquaver then down on the quaver then up again on the last semiquaver before the third beat.

 NWCForum - Layering Sop and Alto - quavers (eighth notes) become semiquaver
I have entered 4 staves of vocal music (sop, alto, tenor bass) and wish to print them as 2 staves, so I use layering.
In lots of cases the notes don't have beams - they are indicated as quavers by a wavy diagonal at the top of the stem.
Basically I have 2 quavers on different staves, and when I layer them they display and print as a semiquaver.

This illustrates the folly of trying to be dogmatic about what Brian may have meant by such-and-such a reference, except where the quotation is unmistakable.
The Colonel’s monologue is occupied largely by a theme that could be described in shorthand as a descending scale in semiquavers with bumps in it!
In view of its future significance, it was somewhat unhelpful of me to designate this theme as Ex 29(c), which was the first of a number of disguises it adopted.

No matter how accurately you play, the note lengths are often inaccurate interpreting, for example straight played quavers as semiquaver, semiquaver rest.
In this case, the shortest note length was semiquaver, so that was the setting.
The result of those settings is that the inner parts appear correct but the bass part comes out as semiquaver, semiquaver rest.

We also need to define the length of the note, which is done by placing a `/' and two digits after the `C4S' or `202'.
This uses the conventional fractional notation, where `/01' represents a semibreve, `/02' a minim, `/04' a crotchet, `/08' a quaver, `/16' a semiquaver etc. - lets choose a semiquaver, so the full note is indicated by `202/16' in TN.
Let's now add another note after this, a semiquaver at the third fret of the second string.

However, if she cannot play any divisions of notes, then it sounds like you should try some rhythm and counting exercises, perhaps involving large muscle movements like walking and clapping.
For example, have her walk around the room in time to the quavers and clap in time to the semiquavers.

 Dolmetsch Online - Music Theory Online - Notes & Rests
For all notes except the breve (double whole note) and semibreve (whole note), each note has a stem and, for the notes of shorter time-value, a flag, hook or tail (one flag for a quaver (eighth note), two for a semiquaver (sixteenth note), and so on).
The stem can rise from the note-head, in which case it lies on the right-hand side of the note-head, or fall from the note-head, in which case it lies on the left hand side of the note-head (see the two crotchets (quarter notes)).
The number of beams reflect the number of flags each would have had when an individual note.
