There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres.

Pythagoras (circa 570 BC), the wise philosopher and polymath put forth that the universe as a whole was composed of harmony and numbers. The planets and stars move according to mathematical equations, their movements correspond to musical notes and that the Sun, Moon and planets all emit their own unique hum based on their orbital revolving.

Their orbital resonance generates an inaudible symphony which he called Musica Universalis —music of the universe.

The seventeenth century astronomer Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), inspired and intrigued by Phyagoras’ Music of the Universe, believed that the six known planets of the time emanate their own music as they move harmoniously in their orbits. He called this music the harmony of the world — Harmonices Mundi.  He ascribed this music an “agreeable feeling of bliss in the imitation of God” that could be heard by the soul.

He concluded that the Solar System was composed of two basses —Saturn and Jupiter, a tenor —Mars, two altos —Venus and Earth, and a soprano —Mercury. Their music started at the beginning of time in perfect harmony when they began to revolve in musical intervals and produced their unique hums.
