Have you ever wondered about the similarity between the seven named musical notes and the number of days in a week? Have you ever contemplated the potential parallels between the twelve months of the year and the twelve tones used in Western classical harmony? If so, you are not alone. This book delves into the relationship between the stars, the planets, and music by relating the mythological and affective qualities of their respective elements. A remarkably symmetric system may be constructed through the human mind that relates the musical Circle of Fifths to the Wheel of the Zodiac. An interesting and creative analysis that reimagines and links elements of music theory to greater scientific and philosophical themes, Sidereal Harmony: Relating the Circle of Fifths to the Wheel of the Zodiac is a thought-provoking exploration of possibility for musicians and nonmusicians alike.
