Six-eight time is a musical time signature that indicates there are six beats in each measure, with each beat represented by an eighth note. It is often notated as 6/8 and is commonly used in various genres, including folk, classical, and dance music. The feel of six-eight time is typically lively and flowing, making it suitable for fast-paced rhythms. In six-eight time, the beats are usually grouped into two main pulses, with each pulse containing three eighth notes. This creates a strong-weak pattern, often described as a "triplet feel." Musicians often use six-eight time to evoke a sense of movement and energy in their compositions.
