Abstract

This paper aims at delving into the topic of discourse analysis and discourse communities by
examining two discourse samples from a choir. In the first place, a music score is analyzed in
terms of written discourse, and the similarities between language and music are examined.
Secondly, the paper explores the topic of non-verbal communication. The gestures with which the director of the choir communicates are analyzed with the objective of appreciating how important non-verbal communication is for a choir. Finally, an assessment is made as to whether this discourse community is able to communicate in a meaningful and effective way.
