Pierce, Alexandra
DEEPENING MUSICAL
PERFORMANCE THROUGH
MOVEMENT
Indiana University Press (Bloomington, IN, 2010)
Alexandra Pierce helps musicians gain a richer
understanding of music through the use of the body
and gesture. She asserts that expression of character
and affect in music corresponds to expression of
character and affect in physical gesture. She seeks to
answer the question, “What is vitality in music?” and
to find answers that contribute to hearing and
performing this core quality of music in order to help
musicians integrate them into daily practice. Pierce’s
approach is to isolate and explore through movement
such elements of music as melody, beat, and structural
levels. Short narratives that illustrate how
performance practice problems can be approached
and solved are scattered throughout the book.
Includes 90 b&w photos. Paperback, 248 p.
