2009 – 2013 FINA SYNCHRONISED SWIMMING MANUALFOR JUDGES, COACHES & REFEREESSECTION IIIEVALUATING MUSIC INTERPRETATION"A blending of movements and music into a oneness of expression"JUDGING FACTORSExcellent/Near Perfect9.5Good7.5Satisfactory5.5Weak3.5Music InterpretationCharacter,QualityAction convincingly suited to music,music which offers a wide range ofopportunity for expressiveinterpretation.Action fits well to the music's qualitiesbut may occasionally seem to 'missthe point' with uninspired action.Interpretation of the music's characterappears largely mechanical or is acliche adaptation.No apparent relation to the characterof the music. Actions might fit to anyother music with the same measurestructure.Mood, TemperamentMood is well expressed by body &interpretive character of the actions.Attention given to moods but may notseem to fit some of the obvious ones.Hardly able to express mood; mayeven show an inverted interpretation.Ignores mood.Emotion, FeelingOptimal use of subtle & obviousmusic qualities for maximumemotional impact.Not quite up to fully developing anemotional impact related to themusic.Trite and mechanical interpretations.Pantomime used, if anything.Mechanical, wooden, trite. Noattempt to portray emotion of themusic.Use of DynamicsPower,GraceWell defined strong action toaccompany music's power; Gentleaction where appropriate.Well interpreted but may have someawkwardness sections to musicwhich has good range.Music may have good contrasts butthey are not used well.No apparent attention to dynamics,except for possible cliches.Accents,Highlights,Special EffectsMemorable moments synthesizedfrom superior interpretation of thespecial parts heard in the music.Good use of accents and specialeffects. Portrayal may be atranslation of associated lyrics orstory instead of of the music'ssounds.Predictable actions for obvious,simple-to-use accents. Other specialeffects are neglected.Attempts made to use major &obvious highlights, but skills fail tomeet the challenge.Compatibility With competitor Harmonious maturity & style ofswimming. Music supports motivation& choice.Music may not be totally compatiblewith athlete's personality. Coach'schoice?Safe functional background.Swimmer not challenged with tempo& musical sounds.Lack of skills make it difficult to findcompatible music.With choreography,compositionMusic displayed like a work of art.Shares its feeling with the viewers.Somewhat incompletecommunication of the meaning of themusic.Little attempt to portray the music,except as associated with the story orlyrics.Could be swimming to spoonsbanging on the deck.OVERALL Memorable 'oneness' with the music! Good effort but needs a little moreemotional appeal.Generic. Variety without unity ofmusic & action.Irrelevant performance.2009 – 2013 FINA Synchronised Swimming Manual for Judges, Coaches & Referees 185
