Příklady breve

• This destroys an otherwise fascinating proportion in the motet in its ideal complete shape, with a length of 171 breves.

• The only point at which this relatively quick motion slows is at the talea's midpoint, which is spanned by a breve-long ligature.

• The initial consonance is developed, then 'saturated' by the figures chosen and sung to an unfolding pattern of longs and breves.

• The motet has a length of 150 breves.

• Its music begins with a rest of three breves as a very downto-earth illustration of the following je ne chant.

• Therefore, a breve adjoined to a long does not automatically cause its imperfection.

• The contrafact shows how close these little motets were to the secular repertoire (it is only twenty breves long).

• If both voices are taken into account, the total is, again, 72 (this time, breves).

• The breve following this long does not imperfect the long but is simply a guidepost between the two possible referents of the same figure.

• The notation of this piece - like many others in this repertory - uses rhomboid breves.

• The new music is twelve perfect longs in length, thirty-six breves.

• Other contentious points depend on whether a rest between phrases should be a perfect long or a breve.

• In diminution the perfect longs are replaced by perfect breves, preceded by a perfect semibreve.

• The pairs of crossed breve rests (pausas transfixis) retain their normal value - thus each pair is equal, in modern transcription, to a dotted semibreve rest.
