More ways to think about hypermeter

Meghan shared with me other ways to think about quadruple hypermeter.

  • Hyperbeat 1 (almost always) serves as an initiation of something new
  • Hyperbeat 4 serves as an upbeat, leading you back to hyperbeat 1
  • Hyperbeat 3 sounds stable and somewhat strong, but it may not carry the kind of “initiation” as hyperbeat 1 does

Hope you find it helpful! Feel free to email me or Meghan anytime if you have any questions.

Have a nice weekend.
