Wilfried Schaum Ballad metre (20) RE: Ballad metre 25 Aug 11


short look into one of my german ballad books: mostly 4/4, but also some 3/4 and 6/8, which can also been understood as 2/2 in triplets.

McGofH: same with the german ballads.

ballads cna't be defined, in this man's humble opinion, by counting syllables, only by themes: love and death, and sometimes the intrusion of other worlds into our known one.
