Downbeat has been given a misleading definition many times over. It is the first beat of a mensural composition particularly those works that have a consistent time signature. If the orchestra, combo, or band comes in on the first beat of a measure then they are guided by their conductor, leader, or director, in some fashion, with a gesture that is down. Conductors of orchestras have various positions for all stages of a specific time signature. The first beat of a measure is always in a pronounced downward manner although some fail to properly emphasize this beat. Some have defined, in part, the down beat as the entrance point of any musical performer, group, combo, band or orchestra. This is simply not the case. All one needs to do is scan the varieties of musical scores or listen to their own collection to realize that initial entrances are not always made on the downbeat. In a time register of 4/4, for example, initial entrances can be made on beat one, two, three,or four as well as on half beats.
Gruss Manuel
