Interesting coincidence.

I went to the Boston Pops concert last night.

One of the numbers (Burt Bacharat) was in a fast 4.  It had some obvious 6/4 (3/2) measures in it (with 3 half notes as the predominate rhythm).

But Keith Lochart conducted right through them in 3/4, as though there were 3 beats in the measure.  I wonder if that's how it was written in the score?.

So, instead of listening to (and enjoying) the music, I got caught up in the rhythmic hemiolas ;-)
