dc.description.abstractIn practices of non-modern, non-Western agriculture, music making has played various roles in crop growing. Contemporary modern experimentation and practice point to a modern Western interest in the possible links between music and plant-growth. This dissertation makes use of anthroposophical ideas about the natures of living growth and sound in order to develop an understanding of how and why music and plants might be linked. An understanding of anthroposophy’s etheric forces is found to be useful in exploring the rationale for the music-plant correlation. Eurythmy (which also stems from anthroposophy) and specifically the eurythmic work of Tanja Baumgartner contribute towards a practical understanding and possible implementation of the theories.en_ZA
