More three-part polyrhythm practice . . .

This time using speeds in ratios 7 : 5 : 3, and over a I-VI-ii-V in Eb major.

The metronome coincides with the slowest pulsation throughout the modulations.

The permutations of the three ratios throughout this recording are:


7          7          5          7          7
5          3          3          3          5
3          5          7          5          3


For what it's worth, I always hear the pulsation lowest in pitch as the primary pulse; that it, the "beat."

  1. Hi Mark

    I love looking at your practice ideas, great inspiration. Could I ask/suggest that you add a tag that links up the posts as the tags don't link up (i.e. there's only 1 polyrythms post .... however you mention it in several posts).

    Big thanks.
