Music is said to encompass three levels: the music of the spheres, or abstract eternal numbers; the music of the soul; and practical or audible music. The music of the spheres is that set of proportions in the arangements of the heavenly bodies which, Pythagoras taught, corresponds which the concords of music, so that, as Adam and Eve describe them in Paradise Lost, they "move/In mystic Dance not without Song". The Ptolemaic cosmic map corresponds with the Pythagorean musical scale, in which only fourths, fifths, and octaves are considered consonant; but Kepler understood the universe as sun-centered and believed that the cosmos corresponded with the "just intonation" of polyphony: that is, in a heliocentric universe, his measurements of the relations of the planets corresponded with the mathematical proportions in which thirds and sixths are most consonant. The new cosmology, by throwing all in doubt, both created new anxieties and opened new possibilities for the mind, the body politic, and the arts, and these corresponded with an intonation whose mathematics requires that voices must constantly adjust to each other to produce "perfect harmony".

И да, я хочу про это диссер и напишу - кстати, хорошая идея разделить как раз на три части, музыку сфер, музыку души и "просто музыку" (больше всех зажигал на эту тему Боэций со своей пифагорейско-неоплатонической картиной мира), и у Донна всё это будет ))) (тм) (а главное, в моей магистерской уже дофига есть про это)
