borrowed division

Borrowed Divisions Triplets are a type of tuplet in which a beat (or subdivision, or multiple beats) in simple meter is divided into three parts. Triplets are sometimes thought of as “borrowed” from compound meter, because the beat in compound meter is usually divided into three parts.

Borrowed division is the practice of “borrowing” the subdivision of one meter into another meter. The first example below is in a simple meter. Measure one shows the beat of a quarter note. Measure two shows the normal subdivision of the quarter note into two eighth notes.

Borrowed Divisions (Tuplets) Similarly, when writing music in a compound meter, composers can borrow the duple division of the beat from simple meters. These borrowed divisions are called duplets.

Phrases are divided into measures (bars), and measures are divided into beats (or clicks of the metronome). In most tunes, four clicks of the metronome equal one measure, and four measures equal one phrase. In other words, a musical phrase is 16 beats long, or 16 clicks of the metronome.

Another example is of course Wagner's famous borrowing from Berlioz Romeo and Juliet, on which both the Prelude and Liebestod of Tristan are based. Bernstein based the theme of "Somewhere" on Beethoven's Emperor.

Tempo rubato (or a tempo rubato) means literally in robbed time, i.e., duration taken from one measure or beat and given to another, but in modern practice the term is quite generally applied to any irregularity of rhythm or tempo not definitely indicated in the score.

(ˈsɪmpəl dɪˈvɪʒən ) noun. mathematics. a type of division to find out how many times the smaller number is contained in the larger one. It is sometimes possible to produce a recognisable vulgar fraction which will reduce to simple division.

In arithmetic, short division is a division algorithm which breaks down a division problem into a series of easier steps. It is an abbreviated form of long division - whereby the products are omitted and the partial remainders are notated as superscripts.

As you may have noticed, the basic beat is not the only regular pulse. Listen to Example 2–1 again. This time, as you are tapping your foot to the beat tap your hand twice per beat. This faster pulse - twice as fast, in this case - is referred to as the beat division.

An odd meter is a meter which contains both simple and compound beats. The first odd meter that we will discuss is 5/8 time. It contains one simple beat and one compound. The order of the beats does not matter. If the compound beat comes first, it is still 5/8 time.

A beat can be subdivided in numerous ways. Most commonly beats are evenly divided in two, in four, or in three. Most music is played in 4/4 time, or Common Time.
