Hi Cathy!
I've just been in Manfred Bleffert's 3 week Course (in Calif.) We did lots of
movement, drawing and musical exercises around feeling. There is probably lots
written about all this but my suggestion is to play, sing, have others play or
sing, etc. just one interval for a few days and notice your own feelings.
Ascending, descending, two tones together. Leave lots of space to between
playing to listen back into what you just did. Draw, move, listen, imagine.
Share experiences and observations with others. It's interesting and helps
develop your own feeling and experience more deeply.
I hope all is well... I'm going to try to get the time to write up a few
paragraphs on the Music Course as it was a wonderful 3 weeks - hammering iron,
forging, cutting wood, tuning iron gongs, glockenspiel & wooden xylophone bars,
listening, playing on wooden leg bars, improvising to each others'
"conducting"... finally hearing Manfred's concert in Grace Cathedral (San
Francisco)....
Happy September!

anyone have information about intervals and their
meanings/feelings? For instance the relationship between the first
and fourth, as in Here Comes the Bride, makes one feel like they need
to get out of the way. I've heard the first to seventh evokes tragic
feelings or feelings of yearning. Also learned that this interval is
related to the thyroid and wonder if anyone has any more information
regarding the relationship of intervals to human organs.

Thanks,

Cathy
