Learn what hemiola is all about. In this music theory lesson, we explain how the hemiola works and listen to what it sounds like. A hemiola is a rhythmic device that will make any music in triple time sound more interesting. Hemiola can only be used in a piece that is set in triple time e.g. three crotchet or quarter note beats to the bar. It happens when the rhythm is temporarily organised into groups of two beats so one hears one-two, one-two, one-two, when actually the rhythm fits the triple metre as one-two, three-one, two-three. Music in triple time can often sound predictable, and hemiola is a great way of avoiding such predictability. Watch this music theory lesson and you will soon be fluent in the use of this clever rhythmic technique. 🔴 Subscribe for more videos just like this: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg?sub_confirmation=1 🎵 Become a Music Matters Maestro: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg/join 👕 Merch store: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8yI8P7Zi3yYTsypera-IQg/store 🕘 Timestamps 0:00 - Introduction to hemiola 0:25 - What is a hemiola? 2:27 - What does a hemiola sound like? 🎓 Learn Music Online with Music Matters Learn music theory, aural tests, composition, sight reading, orchestration and more!
