	Triple metre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Triple metre is a musical metre characterised by a primary division of 3 beats to the bar, usually indicated by 3 (simple) or 9 (compound) in the upper figure of the time signature, with 3/4 and 9/8 being the most common examples.
		Triple time is common in formal dance styles, for example the waltz and minuet and many gigues.
		Movements in triple time characterised the more adventurous approach of 17th and 18th Century music, for example the Sarabande, which originated in Latin America and appeared in Spain early in the 16th Century, became a standard movement in the suite during the baroque period.

	Metre (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Metre or meter 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.
		Metre is often combined with a rhythmic pattern to produce a particular style.
		Issues involving metre in song reflect a combination of musical metre and poetic metre, especially when the song is in a standard verse form.

		Indeed, Becking (ibid, p.24) wrote that the downbeat in 3/4 metre lasted for "something less than" ("etwas weniger als") two quarter-notes, again only an approximate indication; the (A) phase is shown in the score commencing a little after the 2nd quarter-note of the bar, subsequent to the carefully executed lower portion of the curve's downbeat.
		Manifestations of the two metres in the scores seem to be fully comparable, as will later be seen, the distinction arising rather in performance: in 4/4, all four conducting phases are executed distinctly, whereas in 2/4 (and 2/2) the first two phases are more nearly fused, as are also the last two phases.
		The absence of a final rest in 'real' triple metre seems to correspond to the fusion of the conducting phases (N) and (U); it is as if the rest were fused with the sounded note, whereas in the other metres the rest occurs and is felt separately (see Par 15).

	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].
		In practice, this means teaching the basic components of metre - pulse, tactus, duple, triple, compound and additive metres - and using these terms as analytical tools to aid both the perception of metre and the learning of steps or movements which have to be performed in particular metres.
		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.

	physics - Metre (music)
		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 beats, and the second is to form the building block of larger sections of music, such as a phrase.
		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.

	Schubert Fingerprint article by Nettheim (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Metre, from the present point of view, is a hierarchical subdivision of the time occupied by one traversal of the curve of a given composer.
		Any metre appearing in a score can be regarded as resulting from three choices: (i) a 'real' metre, (ii) the number (1, ½ or 2) of notated or 'nominal' bars per curve and (iii) the note-value chosen as metrical unit.
		It should especially be noted that the turnaround occurs about half-way through the 'real' bar in duple (or quadruple) metre, but triple metre does not contain a half-way grid-point and in that case the turnaround occurs instead about two-thirds through the 'real' bar (see Becking 1928, 39-40).

		Metre is a contentious subject, and studies based on mechanical, musical, organic and linguistic analogies have shown how little is currently understood.{1} Nonetheless, as defined as some pattern of phonological stress, pitch and/or length, rhythm is an inescapable element of poetry.
		New metres are rarely created, but much more common is the importation and adaptation of metre from a foreign language, which is a good reason for reading beyond translations.
		Metre gives dignity and memorability, conveying tempo, mood, the subtle shifts in evidence, passion and persuasion beyond what is possible in prose.

	Towards a theory of balletic movements as non-metrical analogues of acoustic envelopes
		In a debate about whether duple or triple time was preferable for ronds de jambe, one dancer struggled to find a reason why 3/4 was better, and then was delighted to have found what seemed to be a reasonable explanation "we don't like doing round movements to square music".
		Metre is thus one of the first questions to arise in the decision making process of accompanying ballet classes, and some teachers' courses make it a criterion for assessment that the student teacher should be able to use a variety of appropriate metres and 'dance rhythms' during the course of a class.
		By the same token, a class conducted to music entirely in duple metre, which nevertheless required the dancer to make metrical or rhythmic alterations themselves, might do more than the class containing a multiplicity of low-level metrical alterations in the music which were rendered duple by the hypermetrical structure of the exercises.

		In music, simple metre or simple time is a time signature or meter in which each beat (or rather, portion, 1/2 or 1/3 of a measure) is divided into two parts, as opposed to three which is compound meter.
		Properly, "metre" describes the whole concept of measuring rhythmic units, but it can also be used as a specific descriptor for a measurement of an individual piece as represented by the time signature—for example...
		In music, compound metre or compound time is a time signature or meter in which each beat (or rather, portion, 1/2 or 1/3 of a measure) is divided into three parts, as opposed to two which is simple meter.

	Chinese Traditional Music - Rhythm (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		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.
		Four beat metre was called "yi ban san yan" (one board and three eyes) and two beat metre was "yi ban yi yan" (one board and one eye).
		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
		Metre without rhythm is a bit like going to book shop and saying "Can I have a book that's seven centimetres thick please?" Even though we often talk about "rhythmic accuracy" or "keeping rhythm", rhythm is usually everything that happens apart from the main beats of the metre.
		A good example of rhythm with no apparent metre is experienced when listening to morse code (for fun, visit the virtual morse code generator - type in words and hear them played back in Morse).
		In a triple run, the "down-up-up down-up-up" provides the 2 X 3 metre (6/8) while the the binary opposition of your feet (left-right left-right left-right) as you do it organises that compound duple metre simultaneously into simple triple metre (3 x 2 = 3/4).

	Understanding Music
		was Latin, and the normal metre of the Latin verse was a triple metre known as tempus perfectum, consisting of trochees (long-short) and iambs (short-long)...
		What was taken into consideration was a form of musical symbolism by which the religious concept if the Trinity came to be associated with a triple metre ; the time-signature for such a rhythm was shown not as 3/2 but as a perfect circle, itself a symbol of perfection.
		French will move towards a syllable-based metre and not a stress-based metre like English, or, before, Anglo-Saxon.This fundamental binary rhythm will be dominant in music up to Bach, except in popular music, and in English poetry forever.

	The Baffling Binary Gigue
		"It is clear that Bach's use of the barred circle confirms the triple rhythm of the gigue, the notation to the contrary notwithstanding." Interestingly enough, Bach's version of this gigue in the "Notebook for Anna Magdalena" is written in 4/4 with the notes half the value of the published version.
		The Italians usually indicate the movement of the gigue in 6/8 or 12/8 time for the violins and sometimes with the sign of C or quadruple measure for the bass.
		First, historical evidence suggests that it was to be performed in ternary, and both notational and theoretical sources point towards the "tripleness" of the gigue in general.

	Lorenzo Allegri
		The sinfonia which opens the book, is divided into a slow first section in duple metre and with dotted rythms and a faster second section in triple metre and midly imitative, a scheme that can rightly be regarded as adumbrating the French overture.
		Each begins with a ballo in duple metre and moderate tempo and continues with such dances as the galliard, corrente, canario, branle and gavotte.
		The last suite, with its seven movements (five dances and two ritornellos), symmetrical balancing of metres, and acceleration of tempo in successive movements, marks the artistic peak of the book and of the small body of Allegri´s surviving works.

	The ‘piping’ and ‘quacking’ of queen bees (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The 1609 edition shows a four line staff with the letter G on the second line from the bottom indicating that this is a treble clef.
		There are no bar lines but the two semibreve rests at the beginning of the staves indicate that we are in a triple metre, and indeed the text states that the bees ‘sing’ in triple time.
		The notation indicates that the two most common results of the simultaneous piping and quacking of the rival queens are the musical intervals of either a perfect fifth or a major third.

		It was danced by couples using small springing or gliding steps.
		The musical form had two types: the Italian corrente was in fast triple metre, with quick running figures in a texture of accompanied melody; the slower French courante was contrapuntal (additional info and facts about contrapuntal) in style, with shifts between 32 and 64 metre, typically with an upbeat measure like the allemande (Egg-thickened veloute).
		For example, the courante of Bach (German baroque organist and contrapuntist; composed mostly keyboard music; one of the greatest creators of Western music (1685-1750)) 's second solo violin partita (BWV (additional info and facts about BWV) 1004, written around 1720 in Cöthen; see e.g.

		This name suggests the piece should be played in 3/4 (waltz) metre, although it is also commonly heard with the stresses as in 6/8 time.
		Such a succession can also be part of a larger, slurred phrase, in which case, ties and slurs must be used simultaneously and distinguishably.
		Much of the music in the show is written in waltz (3/4) time (and all of it is in triple metre), and the work is often considered an operetta rather than standard musical comedy.

	PMC Polish Dance Sites: Polonaise
		The dance developed from the Polish dance (taniec polski) of the 18th century; this form, in turn, was derived from the chodzony (walking dance) which was popular in the 17th century and known as a pieszy (pedestrian), or chmielowy (hops) dance.
		They consist of short phrases set in triple meter and have no upbeat, but often they feature a two-measure section that is repeated in the middle.
		This category includes the oldest Polish folk melody, "Oj, chmielu, chmielu" (hops dance) which was sung and danced during the ceremony of the "capping of the bride" at the folk wedding.

		The sonatas in his widely disseminated op.18 (1656) usually consist of four movements: duple-metre imitative, 'grave', fast triple metre and quick imitative finale.
