One of many Bounce Videos of time signatures and polyrhythmsTo watch time signatures, polyrhythms and other rhythms as bounce videos (like the one to the right) go to Video resourcesīounce Metronome Pro can play all these rhythms and more. quavers, in a bar.Įxample 16 summarises the meaning of these three time signatures.4/4 showing how the beats naturally divide into eighth notes. The lower number, 8, represents a quaver because there are 8 quavers (eighth notes) in a semibreve, and the upper number tells you that there are 3 beats, i.e.

In 3/8 there are three quavers per bar.

The lower number, 2, represents a minim because there are 2 minims (half notes) in a semibreve, and the upper number tells you that there are 3 beats, i.e minims, in a bar.

In 3/2 there are three minims per bar.

The lower number, 4, represents a crotchet because there are 4 crotchets (quarter notes) in a semibreve (whole note), and the upper number tells you that there are 2 beats, i.e.

In 2/4 there are two crotchets per bar.

The upper figure tells you the number of beats in the bar. The number 2 represents a minim (half note), 4 represents a crotchet (quarter note), 8 represents a quaver (eighth note), and so on. (The time signature is then omitted for the rest of the piece, unless it is changed to another.) In the time signatures discussed in this section, the lower figure can be understood as the value of each beat expressed in relation to a semibreve (whole note). Time signatures, which consist of two numbers aligned vertically, are placed at the opening of a piece of music to signify which metre is being used. Notice in Example 17 that 4/4 can also be written as C (Common time), and 2/2 as a C with a vertical stroke through it (alla breve). AUDIO CLIPS (mp3 & midi) of simple, compound and ODD TIME, POLYRHYTHMS like 4:3, 3:2, 5:3, 11:5 etc, additive rhythms and rhythm cycles, some of the rhythms.

In notated music, each group is marked out by a bar line – so from now on we will talk about how many beats there are in each bar. Thus, a three-beat pattern would consist of strong-weak-weak beats. The most common groupings are in twos, threes and fours and these groupings are created by a pattern of stronger and weaker stresses. The music examples in this section include a click track to help you follow the beats. The rhythm of a piece of western music – whether it is simple or complex – is underpinned by a steady pulse or beat, and these beats are grouped together to give the music’s metre.
