triplet

In music theory, a triplet is a three-note pattern that fills the duration of a typical two-note pattern. Each note in a triplet has equal rhythmic value.

a. : one of three children or offspring born at one birth. b. triplets plural : a group of three offspring born at one birth.

In English grammar and morphology, triplets or word triplets are three distinct words derived from the same source but at different times and by different paths, such as place, plaza, and piazza (all from the Latin platea, a broad street). In most cases, such words have the same ultimate origin in Latin.

Let the students listen to the theme and ask them to raise their hand each time they hear a triplet. Another good idea is to show students a page of the score to see how triplets are written. Listen through again and follow the score. A most important step is to guide students as they clap, say and count the rhythm.

Triplets in English writing can be used for a range of different reasons. They help to add emphasis and bring a sense of rhythm to a piece of writing. The rule of three is a common writing principle which says that groups of three are the most satisfying and impactful groups for someone to read.

The name “triplet” reflects that there are three triplet sublevels as discussed earlier (see Section 4.15. 1). These sublevels are degenerate only for spherical molecular symmetry. For lower symmetry, the threefold degeneracy is removed, even in the absence of an applied magnetic field [14].

And a tuplet is simply a group of notes that you take and squeeze into the space where you would normally play two notes. Now it sounds a bit confusing.

An example of a song using a triple meter (and therefore triplet rhythms) is Til There Was You from The Music Man.

Two. That's not what we want for our triplets. We want them to be nice. And even one two three one two three one two three one two three one two three one two three one two. So those are our triplets.

A triplet is a grouping of three eighth notes that occurs within the span of the quarter note. A quintuplet would be a grouping of five sixteenth notes to occur within the span of one quarter note. It is not uncommon to see quintuplets, sextuplets, and septuplets.

As an example for what I'm looking for, here is an appearance of a triplet in the Grande valse brillante in E-flat major, Op. 18, composed by Frédéric Chopin: According to Oxford Music Online, « the slur and figure used in this way do occur in the 16th century, but were not common until the 19th ».

A triplet code could make a genetic code for 64 different combinations (4 X 4 X 4) genetic code and provide plenty of information in the DNA molecule to specify the placement of all 20 amino acids. When experiments were performed to crack the genetic code it was found to be a code that was triplet.
