Rhythm

Rhythm : words , syncopation

 

when music is set to words, they are placed immediately under the notes to which they belong. a recent practice, now accepted as standard, is for notes to be beamed together rhytmically according to the conventions

Rhythm is made up of sounds and silences. These sound and silences are put together to form a pattern of sounds which are repeated to create a rhythm. A rhythm has a steady beat, but it may also have different kinds of beats. Some beats may be stronger, longer, shorter or softer than others. In a single piece of music, a composer can use many different rhythms.
