Lombard rhythm

Lombard rhythm

The Lombard rhythm or Scotch snap is a rhythm associated primarily with Baroque music, generally consisting of a stressed sixteenth note or semiquaver followed by a dotted eighth note or quaver. This effects a reverse of the dotted rhythm normally used in "notes inégales", in which the longer value precedes the shorter. In Scottish country dances, the Scots snap is a prominent feature of the strathspey.
