Definition: An old musical note, equal to two longas, four breves, or eight semibreves.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look and see,
At this word ‘large,’ it’s tricky for you and me!
The dictionary's giving us a musical clue,
A history lesson, honest and true.
It says “An old musical note, quite grand,”
With values stacked, across the land!
Think of it like this, a rhythmic plea,
Two
longas
are one, you see?
Four
breves
are another, don’t delay,
And eight
semibreves
, to brighten your day!
So ‘large’ in music means a note so bold,
A longer duration, a story told.
It's a significant beat, a powerful sound,
Let that musical knowledge now be found!
Do you understand? Any questions arise?
Let’s discuss this rhythm before our eyes!
