Musical communication : the body movements of performance

Jane W. Davidson, Stephen Malloch, Stephen Malloch, Colwyn Trevarthen

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Chapter

Abstract

The role of body movement in creating and communicating music, and in conveying extra-musical meaning during performance, has attracted academic attention. Beyond the obvious need for a body to interact with a musical instrument in order to create musical sounds, the idea has been explored that musical meaning itself originates in the body, that music is experienced as movement ( for example, Cox, 2001, 2006; Davidson and Correia 2002; Malloch 2005; Cross and Morley, Chapter 5, Lee and SchÃ¶gler,Chapter 6, and Panskepp and Trevarthen, Chapter 7, this volume).
