Ross Brown Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 My wife sent me the "Word of the Day" "hemidemisemiquaver" Should a no brainer for some of you, for me, I either never knew it or forgot it in middle school...

Ross Brown Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 Thought is was fun, so I posted it.... Here is the rest definition that came with the word. hemidemisemiquaver \hem-ih-dem-ih-SEM-ih-kway-ver\ noun> : a musical note with the time value of 1/64 of a whole note : > sixty-fourth note>> Example sentence:> The pianist's fingers became a blur flying over the keys as she played > the difficult hemidemisemiquavers of the allegro movement.>> Did you know?> Hemidemisemiquavers are the fastest musical notes that are commonly > played, and performing them well can stretch human technique to its limit. > The term is mainly used in Britain, where eighth notes are called > "quavers," sixteenth notes are called "semiquavers," and thirty-second > notes are called "demisemiquavers." In the United States, > "hemidemisemiquaver" is likely to be used humorously, occurring especially > as a clever substitute for "moment" or "bit," as in "the concert ended not > a hemidemisemiquaver too soon.">> "When I take a stroll down Jackass Lane it is usually to see someone that is already there" Mrs. Brown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
