Meter Anthology
Mark Gotham
This is a placeholder chapter for forthcoming lists of moments that are notable for particular metrical techniques.
In the meantime, here is a list (from Gotham 2019) of passages in mixed meters (5s, 7s, … ). The list is organised chronologically by year of composition and limited to notated music and cases in which a single mixed metrical pattern is sustained for at least four iterations such that it might realistically be internalised by a listener as a meter.
These (imperfect) criteria are intended to define a meaningful boundary for the collection guided by what meter ‘is’.
