How can Ewe musicians imply both a six-feel beat background and a four-feel beat at the same time? See if you can diagram a background of twelve eighth-note units (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) and show how this background can be felt as both a four-feel and six-feel beat within which two bell phrase shapes can occur
(L L S L L L S and L S L L L S L).
What will be an ideal response?
• Ewe musicians imply both a six-feel beat and a four-feel beat at the same time by grouping the twelve eighth-note units into six beats with two eighth-note units in each beat (binary beats), while at the same time grouping the twelve eighth-note units into four beats with three eighth-note units in each beat (ternary beats). Now the four- and six-feel beats "construct musical reality in two ways at once." See diagram below:
Background units: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Four-Feel Beats:
Six-Feel Beats:
Bell Phrase Shape: L L S L L L S
Bell Phrase Shape: L S L L L S L
Background units: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
