You need to ask your music teachers what the definition of an odd meter is...

 

3/4 is a simple triple meter, not odd.

6/8 is a compound duple meter, not odd.

9/8 is a compound triple meters, again not odd.

 

 

 

7/8


5/8


9/8


3/4

you are just picking fly {censored} out of black pepper there son.

 

i am aware of this but still 6/8 was mentioned several times before mine.

 

but since you are being nit-picky 5/4 is my all time favorite.

 

simple triple meter is still odd too. :poke:

 

 

ever play 6/8 hemiola over 3/4? :confused: it is quite fun you get to ignore the conductor :cool:

I was going to correct the other mentions of 6/8 as an odd time, but since yours had multiple false odd meters, I figured I'd use you as the example. :p

Also, I don't know about the other posters, but are pursuing a music degree (I think), so I automatically hold you to a higher standard! :lol:

 

And no, 3/4 is NOT an odd meter. I know it has an odd number of beats, but it is still a simple meter. An odd meter is a time signature that cannot be broken down into equal groups of 2 or 3. 3/4 is just a simple triple meter.

 

And, what are you talking about with a 6/8 hemiola over 3/4? Do you mean just playing 8th notes in 3/4? Or do you mean it the other way, playing 3 quarter notes in 6/8 to create a 3 over 2 feel?

 

In response to the original topic, I suppose 7/8 and 7/4 are good standby odd meters for me. The fusion band I'm in at my university was playing Weather Report's 'Black Market' last week that has a couple bars of 7/8. Last year we performed Dave Holland's 'How's Never". Check it out, it has a pretty quirky, syncopated 7/8 feel (although I tended to feel it in longer 7/4 bars).
