serenade op. 24 from arnold schoenberg has been written in 7 movements for 7- person ensemble between 1921-1923 including clarinet and bass clarinet (woodwinds), mandolin, guitar, violin, alto and cello(stringed instrument). movements of this work have some been arranged symmetrically by composer.  the 4th movement of this collection named sonnet has features such as singer accompanied with orc...

Human dance was investigated with positron emission tomography to identify its systems-level organization. Three core aspects of dance were examined: entrainment, meter and patterned movement. Amateur dancers performed small-scale, cyclically repeated tango steps on an inclined surface to the beat of tango music, without visual guidance. Entrainment of dance steps to music, compared to self-pac...

Moving to music is intuitive and spontaneous, and music is widely used to support movement, most commonly during exercise. Auditory cues are increasingly also used in the rehabilitation of disordered movement, by aligning actions to sounds such as a metronome or music. Here, the effect of rhythmic auditory cueing on movement is discussed and representative findings of cued movement rehabilitati...

Inspired by theories of perception-action coupling and embodied music cognition, we investigated how rhythmic music perception impacts self-paced oscillatory movements. In a pilot study, we examined the kinematic parameters of self-paced oscillatory movements, walking and finger tapping using optical motion capture. In accordance with biomechanical constraints accounts of motion, we found that ...

Entrainment is defined by a temporal locking process in which one system's motion or signal frequency entrains the frequency of another system. This process is a universal phenomenon that can be observed in physical (e.g., pendulum clocks) and biological systems (e.g., fire flies). However, entrainment can also be observed between human sensory and motor systems. The function of rhythmic entrai...

The origins of music and musical emotions is still an enigma, here I propose a comprehensive hypothesis on the origins and evolution of music, dance, and speech from a biological and sociological perspective. I suggest that every pitch interval between neighboring notes in music represents corresponding movement pattern through interpreting the Doppler effect of sound, which not only provides a...

through close scrutiny of the odessa steps sequence in sergei eisenstein's 1924 film, battleship potemkin, this article argues that the rhythmic editing of the film demands accompanying music based on the same rhythmic system. since eisenstein had a musical structure in mind for the editing of this sequence, composers of film music tasked themselves with expressing his rhythmic visual patt...

There is a tight link between the rhythm of external auditory information and movement. This can be observed when we spontaneously or deliberately move on the beat of music (e.g., dancing) or while performing physical activities (e.g., running) by listening music. Synchronization with rhythm is something natural, developed very precociously and hard-wired. In this study, we exploit this compell...

Abstract This article examines the effects of Montessori music-movement activities on development rhythmic abilities 59 children from preschools, aged between 3 and 6 years. Children were deployed into two experimental groups (EG 1 (n = 20) & EG 2 22)) a control group (CG) 17). Our intervention consisted introducing 15 to 20 min unstructured movement time, either accompanied by piano 1) or ...
