The Music of the Spheres in the Western Imagination describes
various systematic musical ecologies of the cosmos by examining
attempts over time to define Western theoretical musical systems,
whether practical, human, nonhuman, or celestial. This book focuses
on the theoretical, theological, philosophical, physical, and
mathematical concepts of a cosmic musical order and how these
concepts have changed in order to fit different worldviews through
the imaginations of theologians, theorists, and authors of fiction,
as well as the practical performance of music. Special attention is
given to music theory treatises between the ninth and sixteenth
centuries, English-language hymnody from the eighteenth century to
the present, polemical works on music and worship from the last
hundred years, the Divine Comedy of Dante, nineteenth- and
twentieth-century English-language fiction, the fictional works of
C.S. Lewis, and the legendarium of J.R.R. Tolkien.
