<p>ES: hemiolia,
I: ?,

D: ?,
NL: ?,
DK: ?,
S: ?,
FI: ?.
<p>[From Greek: in Latin, <em>sesquialtera</em>] The ratio 3:2. Refers to
the use of three notes of equal value in the time normally occupied by
of two notes of equal value. The resulting rhythm can be expressed in
modern terms as a substitution (for example) of a bar in 3/2 for one
of 6/4, or of a bar in 3/4 for one of 6/8. During the Baroque era,
hemiola is most frequently as a special effect (or <em>affect</em>) at
cadences.
<p>For example, this phrase in 6/4 time
<p class="noindent"><p>

</p>
<p>may be thought of having alternating time signatures

</p>
<p>and is therefore a polymeter (second definition) of considerable antiquity.
