| Summary: | For sports that involve a routine or choreography, music is used either as a background sonic accompaniment or to
enhance and synchronize the movement of the athletes. This paper aims to investigate the perception of congruence
between movements and music in a rhythmic gymnastics routine from a musical perspective. Contrary to the
conventional method of choreographing a routine based on selected music, this research aims to investigate the
quality of the routine with existing choreography accompanied by a newly-composed music. A routine performed by a gymnast was recorded and music composed to match the existing choreography based on the recording. Fifty-two
participants from a tertiary institution, all music majors, were asked to evaluate two videos which had the same
rhythmic gymnastics routine, one with the athlete’s original music and the other edited with the new music. The result shows that a significantly higher percentage of respondents chose the new accompaniment as having better
congruence between the music and movement. Most of the respondents also perceived the new composition to be
the original music used by the gymnast.
