Dear Monica and list.
Many years ago (back in 1982!) I played the two sets of canarios in
Codice Saldivar 4, and just decided that the strumming pattern in
both of them was wrong and simply didn't play it...
Now I want to play them again but the strumming patterns are still
something I
Excuse me if you already know what I'm going to say:
'sesquialter' means, simply, 'one and a half', ie 1.5. It was
represented,obviously, by a rectangle with the long side being 1.5 the
measure of the small side (1:1.5). I would say, that's a triple time, a
rythmic pattern.
