Hello folks.
Has anyone mentioned the term "sesquialtera"? One source i have says
"IIn Hispanic Music, it may refer to the mixture of duple and triple
time within groups of six quavers (eighth notes)."
Sesquialtera is also an organ stop that is (usually) a non-breaking
(i.e., one that doesn't "break back" as the notes ascend) mixture
consisting of two "ranks" of pipes--one at 2 2/3' and the other at 1
3/5'. (Yeah, I know it has nothing to with meter, so this is kind of
OT...)
Yes, I know that use of sesquialtera for organ stops. I think it
originally meant two in the space of three.
