Thread Name: Songs which can be either 3/4 or 4/4
Subject: RE: Songs which can be either 3/4 or 4/4
I can't quite think of a good example, but if you're singing unaccompanied or acapella, some songs drag a bit in 4/4 and are easier to sing in 3/4. If there's a guitar or something filling up the spaces at the end of bars, it sounds fine, but if there's just a voice carrying on long notes, the song can sound a bit gappy in 4/4.
