Zhou Hui · Journal of Hunan University of Science and Engineering · 2006
As an organic part of all calisthenics performances, music runs through the process of calisthenics teaching, training and competition where music and actions are expected to be harmonious and consistent. Hence, we should integrate strength, power and beauty of calisthenics in the music. We are to compose or adapt by emphasizing the combination of beauty, strength and novelty of the melody, and variation of tempo so that the music backs up action and action concretizes the music in turn until they are perfectly incorporated.
