Word Of The Day - 2
Usage: verb (used with object)
Meaning: to place (the accents) on beats that are normally unaccented.
HOW IS SYNCOPATE USED?
1) I juxtapose the rhythms, and I syncopate them to make the piece create the jazz feeling that I’d like to get.
2) Finding syncopation in jazz is about as difficult as finding water in the ocean. It is the cornerstone of one of the principal sources of jazz rhythm, ragtime melody, so much so that to “rag a melody” and (a decade or so later) to “jazz up a melody” meant, in part, to syncopate it.
