English term

eight-beat unit

English to Polish Other Music
Basically, the rhythm of both the singing and the instrumental ensemble is built on an eight-beat unit, though four-beat units often occur, and six- and two-beat units are occasionally used. The sung text is based principally on phrases of 12 (7+5) syllables; 8- and 16-syllable phrases are also fundamental patterns.
