TIME SIGNATURE 2
Time signature refers to as signs or symbols placed at the beginning of the staff, after the
clef sign and the key signature. Usually, the symbols can be figures or ordinary signs. Time
signature, therefor refers to the symbol which is use to indicate the time of a piece of music.
There are two major types of time signature, namely simple time and compound time.
SIMPLE TIME: A time signature is simple when the beats are divisible by two or their
Multiples.
There are three types of simple time signature namely, simple duple, simple triple and simple
quadruple.

(i) SIMPLE DUPLE TIME: examples of simple duple time are 22, 24, 28, 216,

(ii)

The essential features of simple duple time is the use of 2 as top figure (numerator).
(ii) SIMPLE TRIPLE TIME: In a simple triple time, the beats are grouped in threes. E.g.
3 3 3 3
2, 4, 8, 16
(iii) SIMPPLE QUADRUPLE TIME: In a simple duple time, the beats are grouped in fours,
examples of simple quadruple time are: 42, 44, 48, 416,

COMPOUND TIME SIGNATURE

One important feature of compound time is that it makes use of dotted notes or beats, e.g. each
dotted note represents a group of three smaller beats or note. In other words, each of the dotted
note can be split in to a group of smaller notes which must be equal to the dotted note or beat e.g.

Notice here that each dotted crotchet is divided in to a group of three quavers which are equal to
dotted crotchet.
TYPES OF COMPOUND TIME
There are three types of compound time signature namely, Compound duple compound triple
and compound quadruple.
COMPOUND DUPLE: This has two dotted beats or notes in the bar, and the beats can be
minims, crotchet or quavers e.g.

Two dotted minim in a bar

Four Crotchets in a bar

Six dotted crotchet in a bar

Six quavers in a bar

Each of these dotted notes represents a group of three smaller notes, but each group is equal to
the dotted note.
Here, there are three time signature for compound duple 64, 64, 616,
Notice also the use of 6 as top figure in the compound duple.
COMPOUND TRIPLE: This has three dotted notes in the bar, and the dotted notes can be
minims, crotchets or quavers e.g.

Etc.

Hence, each of the dotted notes represents a group of three smaller notes, and each group is equal
to the dotted notes.
Here there are three time signatures for compound triple 94, 124, 168,
Notice also the use of 9 as top figure in the compound triple.
COMPOUND QUADRUPLE: This has four dotted notes in the bar, and the dotted notes can be
minims, crotchets or quavers e.g.

TRANSCRIPTION
(STAFF TO SOLFA AND SOLFA TO STAFF)
MEANING OF TRANSCRIPTION
Transcription refers to the process of converting a piece of music from one system of notation to
another. For example, a piece of music can be transcribed from solfa notation to staff notation.
We can as well transcribed from staff notation to solfa notation.
Note also that sometimes, the exercise is called translation. It is the same process of re-writing
of transcribing a given piece of music from one musical notation to another as described above.
To do transcription efficiently, there are certain things that must be considered. These include
knowledge of:
i. The key of the given music and the key of signature.
ii. The time of the music through the time signature.
iii. The clef involved (treble or bass).
iv. The musical note and their values (duration in beats).
v. The number of bars involved.
vi. The accurate positions of the notes on the staff.

TRANSCRIPTION FROM STAFF TO SOLFA NOTE

Using the above guidelines, let us transcribe the music below to solfa notation.
1. Transcribe to Solfa note, Key C major, 24 time

Here the key of the music is C major, the time is 24 (that is two crotchets in the bar), the clef
involved is treble. There are five bars. The musical notes used are minims and crotchets. Observe
the correct positions of the notes on the lines and in the spaces of the staff. The value of each
minim is two beats while each crochet is one beat. Then, apply the punctuation marks strictly.
In the given music above the minim is on C, that is ‘doh’ (d:-). In the second bar, the two crochets
are on C, that is (d : d). in the third bar, the music moves to D, E (that is r : m). in the fourth bar,
the music goes to F, D (that f : r). finally the music ends with a minim on G (that is s :-). Altogether,
the music reads |d : -|d : d| r : m |f : r| s :-|
Following the above example, study these ones carefully.

ASSIGNMENT (10 MARKS)

TRANSCRIPTION FROM SOLFA TO STAFF

Here, we are required to transcribe from solfa notation to staff. There are also certain factors to be
considered in the process. These include
1. The clef of the given music.
2. The key and the key signature.
3. The time signature
4. The musical notes and their beats.
5. The correct expected positions of the notes on the staff.
6. The number of bars.

Look at the following examples and study the procedure carefully.

1. Transcribed to staff in treble staff, key C major, and 24 time
|s: f| m: d | r: r| d:-||
Notice that (a) the clef required is treble. (b) The key is C major (no sharp or flat as key signature.
(c) The time signature is 24. (d) The notes are two crochets to the bar except the last note of the last
bar, which is minim...
 To do this exercise successfully, write the treble clef on the staff as below, then write the time
signature 24, and finally position the notes correctly on the lines and in the spaces of the staff. For
example:

You will observe from the above example that the first bar contains three crochet notes (dominant,
mediant and tonic) that is |s: m: d|. Bars two has the same note, Bar three contains three notes
(supertonic, median and subdominant) that is |r: m: f| and bar four three notes also (median,
submediant and dominant) that is |m: l: s| and the fifth bar which is the last has three notes also
(Subdominant, supertonic and tonic) |f: r: d:-|

2. Transcribe to staff notation using treble staff, key C major, 4 time.
|d: t: l| s:-: f | m: r: s| d:-||

Write the treble clef on the staff as below, the key is C major (no sharp or flat as key signature),
then the time signature 34 (that is three crochets in the bar). Finally, place the notes accurately on
the staff according to the degrees of C major scale. For example:

Here, notice that the first bar contains three notes (octave, leading note and submediant) as |d: t: l
|. Bar three contains two notes—a minim and a crochet (dominant subdominant) as |s:- f|. Bar three
contains three crochets notes (median, supertonic and dominant) as |m: r: s|.
Finally bar four has one dotted minim note (tonic) as d:-:-
Study the following examples carefully and observe the procedure for arriving at the given
answers.
1. Transcribed to staff notation in treble staff key C major, 24 time
|d : r| m : -| s : f | m : d| r : t | d : -|

TRAIDS AND CHORDS
Triads-: This is a type of chord that consists of three notes only. It is mostly called three notes
chord e.g.

Note: there are just three notes on each

Chord: A chord is totally different from a triads, because it is produced when two, three or more
notes are sounded together e.g.

Notice: Example A and D has four notes each, example B has three notes, while C has only two
notes yet, they are all called chord.
