Check out this clip of Bernstein's America from West Side Story for the changing of meter from 6/8 to 3/4.

  1. Note that, when you alternate meter, such as this in a regular manner, it's called "changing meter" BUT if like Stravinsky, you change meter from 1/16 to 4/8 then to 3/4, it's actually considered a written out form of additive rhythm.
