Jill Mattson – Throughout the age’s arcane circles, priests and students of “higher” learning wrote about the importance of planetary sounds. Pythagoras wrote about these ideas – and they were ancient in his time.
Pythagoreans studied music to gain insights into the mathematical underpinnings of the physical world. [1] Kitty Ferguson, who wrote The Music of Pythagoras , tells us, “The Pythagoreans used music to heal the body and to elevate the soul, yet they believed that Earthly music was no more than a faint echo of the universal ‘harmony of the spheres.’
In ancient cosmology, the planetary spheres ascended from Earth to Heaven like the rungs of a ladder. Each sphere corresponded to a different note of a grand musical scale. The particular tones emitted by the planets depended upon the ratios of their respective orbits, just as the tone of a lyre-string depended upon its length.
