What is played on instruments can be accompanied by ordinary singing. But one can also sing visibly. So on the one hand you hear the musical instrument, and on the other you see movements performed on stage by individuals or groups of people, which are a visible song, not a dance, but a real visible song. You also hear recitation or declamation accompanying what is being performed on stage. What is performed on our stage is the same content that is recited or declaimed in the visible language of eurythmy.
