| | Syncopation |
 | | In fact, syncopation is so important in many of the African-American music traditions that the type of syncopation used is one of the easiest ways to identify the type of music. | | | If you want to hear more syncopated rhythms, listen to some Scott Joplin rags or some "big band" music. | | | Other musical traditions tend to be more rhythmically complex than Western music, and much of the syncopation in modern music is due to the influence of other traditions. |

| | syncopation -- Encyclopædia Britannica |
| | The music, in time, has an insistent syncopation. | | | Ragtime pianists—players who added strong syncopations and rhythmic effects to the songs they played—began to appear. | | | The Creole people of the coast and plains have been replacing the indigenous music of the mountains with their own music, especially with the ubiquitous cueca, or zamacueca, couple dance. |

| | Syncopation in dance and music |
| | The difference, though, is that these early musicians used syncopations sparingly for special effects, whereas jazz musicians incorporate syncopation as a basic stylistic element in their music. | | | The album is a mixture of dance and new age jazz music. |

| | syncopation on Encyclopedia.com |
| | SYNCOPATION [syncopation] [New Gr.,=cut off ], in music, the accentuation of a beat that normally would be weak according to the rhythmic division of the measure. | | | Occasional syncopation is present in music of all types and in all periods. | | | It predominates, however, in African music and therefore in African-American music through which it became the principal element in ragtime (see jazz). |

| | Syncopation |
| | Syncopation is often thought of as being a modern invention, being used exclusively in jazz and pop music. | | | However, it exists in music of several centuries ago, including the music of Bach and Mozart. | | | It has become very popular in the last 100 years because of the strong influence from African music in dance music, rock and pop music. |

| | The Influence of African Rhythms |
| | Talk of syncopation, call and response, and timbre can get complex and technical, but on a basic level, they are the soul of this new African American music: they give the music "looseness" and excitement, relaxation and drive. | | | The music of Africa informed the music of Charleston in a very central way; it is impossible to quantify the many influences, but it is possible to highlight three of the most recognizable and important contributions. | | | The choosing of where to place melodic elements over the underlying beats is another striking difference between European and African music. |

| | Does Jazz Put the 'Sin' in Syncopation? |
| | Many people classify under the title of "jazz" all music in syncopated rhythm, whether it be the ragtime of the American Negro or the csardas of the Slavic people. | | | The melodic line is disjointed and disconnected by the accenting of the partial instead of the simple tone, and the same effect is produced on the melody and harmony which is noticed in syncopated rhythm. | | | In ragtime the rhythm is thrown out of joint, as it were, thus distorting the melody; in jazz exactly the same thing is done to the harmony. |

| | The instrumentation fuses electronics along with a pastiche of organic beats, which are low and slow, but they create a languid and consistent pace that the band adheres to throughout the record. | | | Dynamic Syncopation has too much funk and R&B influence for that strain of trip-hop; this record has more in common with the likes of the Dream Warriors or early A Tribe Called Quest. | | | The title track features a tight seventies funk bass line with old school scratching and a disco freak out wah-wah guitar. |

| | Review: `Syncopation' at George Street |
| | Syncopation disrupts the regular meter of a tune by stressing the weaker beat -- it is, of course, the unmistakable signature of America's homegrown African-American blues. | | | Choreographer Willie Rosary, in turn, gives the characters their lexicon of steps, starting with the most tentative stumbles and leading seamlessly to a suitably grand finale. | | | Completing the multi-media world of "Syncopation" is a musical score by Jeffrey Lunden that emanates from the gramophone, ranging across an entire dance landscape, from waltz and fox-trot to polka and a haughty tango. |

| | A Rhythm Study in Syncopation - Creative Keyboard, June 2001 |
| | Originating in early Ragtime music (Scott Joplin,etc.), syncopation became the driving force of Blues, then Jazz, and finally a vital and commonly accepted part of all popular music. | | | Count the regular beats as played by the left hand in the bass clef, and you will feel the syncopated beats played by the right hand in the treble clef. | | | The accented 2nd beat in the right hand now becomes a STRONG beat, and the 3rd beat becomes what we call a silent beat, since the note is being held through that beat. |
