Half a semibreve is a minim. As a semibreve is the equivalent of 4 crotchets, a minim (a hollow oval with a stem) is therefore worth 2 crotchets. In America, the semibreve is refered to as 'whole' note and the minim as a 'half' note. Hope this helps!
A semibreve is four times longer than a crotchet. If you imagine a semibreve with a length of 64 (for theory's sake) as a 'whole note', a half note with a length of 32 is a minim, a quarter note with length 16 is a crotchet, etc. The list goes on. Here's a helpful link: http://neilhawes.com/sstheory/theory12.htm Scroll down to the table and you should find that very illustrative. {| ! ! | ! | ! ! ! | ! | ! ! ! | ! | ! ! ! | ! | ! ! ! | ! | ! ! ! | ! | ! ! ! | ! | ! ! ! | ! | ! | |}
In America, a semibreve is called a whole note.
crotchets
a note having the time value of half a semibreve
A quaver is half the length of a crotchet. A semi quaver is a quarter of a crotchet's length . A minum is double its length while a dotted minum is three times it length. A semibreve is four times the length of a crotchet.
Semibreve is the British term for "whole note."
There are 8 quavers in a semibreve. A semibreve in music represents a whole note whereas a quaver is an eighth note.
