Indeed "O Fortuna" (the first song of Orff's "Carmina Burana") is cast in 3 beats to the bar at the opening, certainly when it gets fully under way... I just checked it on the full orchestral score. This is interesting because the "threeness" of this huge opening is not explicit, which is what I was saying earlier. "Beat" in music is simple arithmatic, yet even with such simple resources as ordinal numbers associating with each other (somehow!) to produce these qualia that gives me an aesthetic impression of circularity is already incredibly advanced and difficult to describe. Tis the magic of the numbers. Music IS numbers, but the qualia it induces in my consciousness are something else. If I understand that part of comp correctly.
