| In [[music notation]], a '''note value''' indicates the relative [[duration (music)|duration]] of a [[note (music)|note]], using the color or shape of the ''[[note head]]'', the presence or absence of a ''[[stem (music)|stem]]'', and the presence or absence of ''flags/[[Beam_(music)|beams]]/hooks/tails''.
| |
| | |
| A [[Rest (music)|rest]] indicates a silence of an equivalent duration.

| ==Variations==
| |
| [[Image:Breve notation.png|right|frame|Variants of the breve]]
| |
| The breve appears in several different versions, as shown at right.
| |
| | |
| Sometimes the longa is used to indicate a very long note of indefinite duration, as at the end of a piece.
| |
| | |
| When a stem is present, it can go either up (from the right side of the note head) or down (from the left side, except in the case of the ''longa''). In most cases, the stem goes down if the notehead is on the center line or above, and up otherwise. Any flags always go to the right of the stem.
| |
| [[Image:beamed notes.svg|right|frame|Beamed notes]]
| |
| | |
| ==Modifiers==
| |
| A note value may be [[augmentation (music)|augmented]] by adding a dot after it. This [[Dotted note|dot]] adds the next lower note value, making it one and a half times its original duration. A number of dots (''n'') lengthen the note value by <math>\tfrac{2^n - 1}{2^n}</math> its value, so [[Dotted note|two dots]] add two lower note values, making a total of one and three quarters times its original duration. The rare [[Dotted note|three dots]] make it one and seven eighths the duration, and so on.
| |
| | |
| To divide a note value to three equal parts, or some other value than two, [[tuplet]]s may be used. However, see [[swung note]] and [[notes inégales]].
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| ===Gregorian chant===
| |
| Although note heads of various shapes, and notes with and without stems appear in early [[Gregorian chant]] manuscripts, many scholars agree that these symbols do not indicate different durations, although the dot is used for augmentation. See [[neume]].
| |
| | |
| In the 13th century, chant was sometimes performed according to [[rhythmic modes]], roughly equivalent to [[Metre (music)|meters]]; however, the note shapes still did not indicate duration in the same way as modern note values.
| |
| | |
| ===Mensural notation===
| |
| Around 1250, [[Franco of Cologne]] invented different symbols for different durations, although the relation between different note values could vary; three was the most common ratio. [[Philippe de Vitry]]'s treatise [[Ars nova (treatise)|Ars nova]] (1320) described a system in which the ratios of different note values could be 2:1 or 3:1, with a system of mensural [[time signature]]s to distinguish between them.
| |
| | |
| This black [[mensural notation]] gave way to ''white mensural notation'' around 1450, in which all note values were written with white (outline) noteheads. In white notation the use of [[tuplet|triplets]] was indicated by ''coloration'', i.e. filling in the noteheads to make them black (or sometimes red). Both black and white notation periodically made use of [[Ligature (music)|ligatures]], a holdover from the ''clivis'' and ''porrectus'' [[neume]]s used in [[Gregorian chant|chant]].
| |
| | |
| Around 1600 the modern notational system was generally adopted, along with [[bar (music)|barlines]] and the practice of writing multipart music in scores rather than only individual parts. In the 17th century, however, old usages came up occasionally. <!-- Here's an example from 1692, by [[Marc-Antoine Charpentier]]: -->
| |
| | |
| ==Origins of the names==
| |
| The British names go back at least to English renaissance music, and the terms of Latin origin had international currency at that time. Obviously, ''longa'' means 'long', and the rest rarely indicate relative shortness. ''Breve'' is from Latin ''brevis'', 'short', ''minim'' is from ''minimus'', 'very small', and ''quaver'' refers to the quavering effect of very fast notes. The elements ''semi-'', ''demi-'' and ''hemi-'' mean 'half' in Latin, French and Greek respectively, while ''quasi-'' means 'almost'. The chain semantic shift whereby notes which were originally perceived as short came progressively to be long notes is interesting both linguistically and musically. However, the ''crotchet'' is named after the shape of the note, from the Old French for a 'little hook', and it is possible to argue that the same is true of the ''minim'', since the word is also used in palaeography to mean a vertical stroke in mediaeval handwriting.
