Question

what is simple quadruple?

Answer 1

* Each time signature can be classified into a certain meter.

* The terms duple, triple, and quadruple refer to the number of beats in a measure.

* The term simple means that each of these beats can be broken into two notes.

* For example, 2/4 time is classified as simple duple.

* “Duple” refers to the two beats per measure.

* “Simple” states that each of these beats can be divided into two notes.

* 2/2 and 2/8 are also simple duple.

* 3/4 time is classified as simple triple.

* “Triple” refers to the three beats per measure.

* Again, “simple” states that each of these beats can be divided into two notes.

* 3/2 and 3/8 are also simple triple.

* 4/4 time is classified as simple quadruple due to its four beats which can be divided into two notes.

* 4/2 and 4/8 are also simple quadruple.

* Notice that a time signature in simple meter will always have a 2, 3, or 4 for the top number.

* While beats in simple meter are divided into two notes, beats in compound meter are divided into three.

* To demonstrate this, we will examine 6/8 time.

* Notice that the six eighth notes can either be divided into two beats (compound duple) or three beats (simple triple).

* Since the simple triple pattern already belongs to 3/4 time, 6/8 is compound duple.

* Notice that each beat in 6/8 is a dotted quarter note. In fact, all compound meters will have some dotted note as its beat.

* Any time signature with a 6 on top is compound duple. 6/8 and 6/4 are the most commonly used.

* 9/8 time is classified as compound triple.

* There are three beats (three dotted quarter notes), thus making the meter triple.

* Since each beat is made up of three notes, the meter is compound.

* Any time signature with a 9 on top is compound triple. Although 9/8 is the most common; 9/2, 9/4, and 9/16 can also be used.

* Finally, 12/8 time is classified as compound quadruple.

* There are four beats, thus making the meter quadruple.

* Since each beat is made up of three notes, the meter is compound.

* Any time signature with a 12 on top is compound quadruple. 12/8 and 12/16 are the most commonly used
