The Rhythm that the planets journey by?

Touching the Life with that which cannot die?”

“The bases of music are rhythm and harmony. Rhythm is ordered recurrence in time… As the planets move around the sun, they repeat their orbits periodically; thus there is already a primitive kind of rhythm in their motion. …Harmony …can be considered a special kind of rhythm. …pure musical tones are produced when the vibrations are… periodic or… repeat themselves regularly in time. Two tones harmonize if their intervals of repetition are in rhythm—or, in mathematical language, if their periods are in proportion.”

Frank Wilczek (1951) physicist

Kepler... in the third book of Harmonice mundi... attempted to make other... related, connections between musical harmony and mathematical proportion.

From Poetry

“I wrote pages of music that tell the story. Life of rhythm, friendship, love, fun and pure emotion. Pages to live and let live again, in all the hearts that beat at dance time.”

Prevale (1983) Italian DJ and producer

Original: (it) Ho scritto pagine di musica che narrano storia. Vita di ritmo, amicizia, amore, divertimento ed emozione allo stato puro. Pagine da vivere e far vivere ancora, in tutti i cuori che battono a tempo di dance.
