Cathy,
Sorry it has taken me so long to respond to this letter... I have been
swamped in regards to the end of summer, traveling, getting ready for
school, etc.
There is actually quite a bit of stuff on the intervals. One source is: The
Inner Nature of Music and the Experience of Tone by Steiner. This book is
the "bible" of music for music educators and what we as music educators go
by for the indications he gave regarding music.
Another excellent source is: Color and Gesture by Reg Down. It is
basically a eurythmy book but has tons of interesting info on intervals,
colors, chords, etc. I really love this book! Another eurythmy source is:
Eurythmy: It's Birth and Development. It has some things to say on
intervals, too. It is a collection of stories from those who were actually
studying, working, learning with Steiner!
I'm sure there are others but those are the ones I can think of. And
Carol's idea is, of course, a very good one. Try and experience them for
yourself!!!
I hope you find this helpful.
Cheers!!! Andrea
