SiH * Codex S. Gallensis, 546.
f ' Ars Musica Mensurabili ;' Bod. Lib.
% Ibid., chap. iv.
1 1 6 Mediasval Music Triple time, as emblematical of the Blessed Trinity, was ' perfect '; common time, ' im- perfect.'* Perfect.
A perfect large = three longs = nine breves = twenty-seven semibreves.
A perfect long = three breves = nine semibreves.
A perfect breve = three semibreves.
Imperfect.
An imperfect large = two longs = four breves = eight semibreves.
An imperfect long = two breves = four semi- br
...eves.
An imperfect breve = two semibreves.
The semibreve being the lowest sign, and of the smallest value, could not be divided, nor could the large when used in the tenor of a cantus firmus.
A. Any single note, or any three of the same denomination, or their equivalents in im- mediate succession, were perfect, and retained their full value — equivalents count- ing as notes.
B. Two or more larges, longs, or three semi- breves in succession, were always perfect, and retained their full value each, of three notes of the next in order.
