Syncopation
Listen Up! - A podcast by New Haven Symphony Orchestra
In our season two finale episode, we explore syncopation, one of the most playful elements of rhythm. There are specific syncopation patterns that link music across a remarkable variety of cultures and genres – almost like a shared heartbeat or fingerprint. We’ll find the “off” beat in everything from marching band to Broadway musicals, Ragtime, pop, Son, samba, and more.
