It has some wonderful and very varied moments: a triple-time interlude in which the colors of the overture are continued, some oddly vigorous and martial music for the chorus of spirits, and, most curious of all, a stealthy and sinuous orchestral passage of extreme harmonic ambiguity.
Often the inner B section was set in duple time (e.g., 2/4), the outer A sections in triple time (e.g., 3/4).
But his leaps never felt abrupt: fidgeting strings, chattering percussion, a flatulent trombone and a cinematic gallop in triple time coexisted peaceably in his playfully surreal conception.
Speaking about the third person of the Trinity, the number three appears in many aspects: the aria is in three sections, in a triple 6/8-time, in A major, a key with three sharps, in German "Kreuz" (cross).
The theme is a saraband — a slow Baroque dance in triple time — and Sebők demonstrated how to get a magical lilt: you subtly elongate the second beat and shorten the third, in effect playing the third beat slightly late.
His 2009 "Sarabande" — the name of a slow dance in triple time — opens with what looks like the sun or a bright moon shining behind a tangle of dark, bare tree branches and what may be mesh fencing.
The commonest court dances of the period were the pavane, a stately walking dance; the almain (see allemande), a brisker walking dance; the galliard, a vigorous leaping dance in triple time, of which Queen Elizabeth was particularly fond; and the branle, or brawl, an easy circle dance.
With no narrative at hand I concocted my own: birds chirping at dawn, migrant workers trudging through fields, an evening dance in triple time, frogs peeping at twilight.
A rhythmic device which regroups notes in simple triple time into groups of two beats rather than three.
As with the traditional polonaise, Chopin's works are in triple time and typically display a martial rhythm in their melodies, accompaniments and cadences.
There are some really interesting nontheme, long entries too: waltz over to 3 Down to fill in TRIPLE TIME, and consider a great entry like ON THE WHOLE.
