Hypermeter refers to groups of measures that form patterns of accentuation, especially at faster tempos. We have seen that beats are either accented or non-accented which was observed in the discussion of conducting patterns in the previous two chapters (see Simple Meter and Time Signatures and Compound Meter and Time Signatures). For example, triplets are usually counted 1-la-li, while duplets are usually counted 1-and, 2-and, etc. Notate a duplet by writing a 2 on top of the duplet rhythm.Ĭounting for tuplet rhythms is usually “borrowed” as well. Duplets are notated by writing the number 2 on top of the duplet rhythm, as seen in Example 2.Įxample 2. Triplets at (a) the beat level, (b) the subdivision level, and (c) the multi-beat level.Ī duplet is a tuplet in which a beat (or subdivision) in compound meter is divided into two parts. This triplet (notated with three quarter notes) takes up the space of one half note.Įxample 1.
Triplets also may occur across multiple beats, as seen in Example 1c. Example 1b shows a sixteenth-note triplet, which is equivalent to one eighth note (the division in this time signature). In Example 1a, the triplet is at the beat level-this is the most common use of a triplet. Triplets may occur at both any metric level, as seen in Example 1. A triplet is notated by writing the number 3 on top of the triplet rhythm. Triplets are sometimes thought of as “borrowed” from compound meter, because the beat in compound meter is usually divided into three parts. Triplets are a type of tuplet in which a beat (or subdivision, or multiple beats) in simple meter is divided into three parts. Sometimes composers will use a triple division of the beat in a simple meter, or a duple division of the beat in a compound meter these rhythms are called tuplets. Typically, a meter is defined by the presence of a consistent beat division: division by two in simple meter, and by three in compound meter. Syncopation happens when there are off-beat rhythmic accents, which can be created by ties, dots, rests, and/or dynamics.Hypermeter refers to the patterns of accentuation at the metrical level.Notate a duplet by writing a 2 above the duplet rhythm. A duplet is a tuplet in which a beat (or subdivision) in compound meter is divided into two parts.Notate a triplet by writing a 3 above the triplet rhythm. A triplet is a type of tuplet in which a beat (or subdivision, or multiple beats) in simple meter is divided into three parts.
