Here reposted is the enlargement, now updated, of my autumn 2021 article for our Eurythmy Association of North America Newsletter, \u201cFixed Do and Movable Do in Our Eurythmy: Does It Matter?\u201d This document completes the first section of Part III of the Singing and Jumping Opens the Way to a Vital Music Eurythmy Foundation<\/em> report. The second section of Part III will delve into the earliest records of the angle-gestures and consider how these gestures have been applied over the last century. The first half of \u201cPart I: The Archetypal Scale and Its Disappearance\u201d of the Singing and Jumping<\/em> report was posted in December 2019 and updated in March 2023. And \u201cPart IV: The Singing and Jumping Exercises \u2013 Real Sounds Lead to Real Gestures\u201d was posted in March 2022. The rest of the report is in progress and will sooner or later come out as a book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the workshop on movable do and the 1915 angle-gestures which I led at the Eurythmy Festival this month (August 2023), I was immersed in the Arioso by J.S. Bach yet more deeply. Because of this, I\u2019ve been able to describe its tonal journey \u2013 as well as the tonal journey of Bach\u2019s Air on the G String \u2013 even more clearly, and I hope more helpfully. I\u2019ve especially tried to open the doors into tonal music wider for those of you who work with these pieces in eurythmy. The two Bach manuscripts are now found right in the document at the end of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
