For centuries, scientists and philosophers believed that the universe was a stately, ordered mechanism, mathematical and musical. The perceived distances between objects in the sky mirrored (and were mirrored by) the spaces between notes that formed chordes and scales. The smooth operation of the cosmos created a divine harmony (perfect, spiritual, eternal) that composers sought to capture and express.
