"The heavenly motions... are nothing but a continuous song for several voices, perceived not by the ear but by the intellect,a figured music which sets landmarks
in the immeasurable flow of time."
The short-lived but profoundly influential Pythagorean Brotherhood sought to unite "religion and science, mathematics and music, medicine and cosmology, body, mind and spirit in an inspired and luminous synthesis".
The musicologist Joscelyn Godwin comments, "...the celestial harmony of the solar system... is of a scope and harmonic complexity that no single approach can exhaust. The nearest one can come to understanding it as a whole is to consider some great musical work and think of the variety of analytical approaches that could be made to it, none of them embracing anything like the whole."
