This is a list of musical compositions or pieces of music that have unusual time signatures. "Unusual" is here defined to be any time signature other than simple time signatures with top numerals of 2, 3, or 4 and bottom numerals of 2, 4, or 8, and compound time signatures with top numerals of 6, 9, or 12 and bottom numerals 4, 8, or 16.
Simple time signatures Simple time signatures are usually classified as those with an upper number of 2, 3, or 4. This example shows that each measure is the length of three quarter notes (crotchets). 3 4 is pronounced as "three-four" or "three-quarter time". Compound time signatures In a compound meter, there is an additional rhythmic grouping ...
Most time signatures consist of two numerals, one stacked above the other: The lower numeral indicates the note value that the signature is counting. This number is always a power of 2 (unless the time signature is irrational), usually 2, 4 or 8, but less often 16 is also used, usually in Baroque music. 2 corresponds to the half note (minim), 4 to the quarter note (crotchet), 8 to the eighth ...
Persian and Parthian-speaking Manichaeans used the name of Mithra current in their time (Mihryazd, q.e. Mithra-yazata) for two different Manichaean angels. The first, called Mihryazd by the Persians, was the "Living Spirit" (Aramaic rūḥā ḥayyā), a savior-figure who rescues the "First Man" from the demonic Darkness into which he had plunged.
It seems to me that there are three categories: (A) all time signatures involved are common (e.g. 2/4 vs 3/4), and the inclusion of such works here is debatable; (B) only one is uncommon (e.g. 4/4 vs 24/16), and it is clear that these should go under their uncommon time signature; (C) more than one is uncommon (e.g. 11/8 vs 13/8), and it's not ...
I suggest you read some of the discussions in the page archives because the "time signature vs. meter" debate has already been had. 5 and 7 would make this article too long (indeed, it is already currently near the post-expand include size limit and has gone above such limit twice before, in June and October 2022), and time signatures of 5/x ...
For example, with compound interest in a high-yield savings account, your balance increases with each interest payout, and unless you withdraw funds, your balance will keep increasing with each ...
Federico Mompou used some unusual ways of indicating time signatures in his piano music. In many cases he uses just a single number, e.g. "3", rather than, say, 3 over 4. In many cases he puts the time signature (whether 1 or 2 numbers) not on the staves but in the white space between them, or above or below the stave where there's only one stave.
