Tacet is Latin translated literally into English as "(it) silent" (pronounced: /'te.s? t/, /'tÃÆ'Â|.s? t/; or /'t?.? k? t/). It is a musical term to indicate that an instrument or sound is not heard, also known as a break. In vowel polyphony and orchestra scores, it usually shows a long period of time, usually a whole movement. In more modern music such as jazz, tacet tends to mark a much shorter pause. Multirests , or multi-measure rests, lies in some last size (or some of the rest, each of which has all sizes).
Tacet. (Lat.) The word used by a player is to understand that an instrument with its unified name must be silent: a Violino Tacet ; violin not played: Oboe Tacet ; oboe silent.
It is common for the early symphony to leave brass or percussion in certain movements, especially in slow (second) movements, and these are instructions given in sections for players to wait until the end of the movement.
It's also commonly used in companion music to show that the instrument does not play on a particular run through some of the music, that is, "Tacet 1st time." The phrase tacet al fine is used to indicate that the player must remain stationary for the remainder of the piece (or parts thereof), and there is no need, for example, to count the break.
Tacet may be appropriate when certain instruments/sounds/parts, "are rested for all parts, movements, or compositions." "Partial rest, of course, in every case must be written, even though it means 'silence,' the term tacet ... is not a wise substitute for long breaks in a movement... The term tacet , therefore, it should be used just to indicate that the player is resting throughout the whole motion In this printed music will be shown: "
"N.C." ("no chord") is often used in the guitar tablature or chord chart to show tacets, rest, or caesuras in accompaniment.
