This study surveys music and dance from a global perspective, viewing them as a composite whole found in every culture. To some, music means sound and body movement. To others, dance means body movement and sound. The author examines the complementary connection between sound and movement as an element of the human experience as old as humanity itself.
Music and dance from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the South Pacific are discussed.
