5.0 out of 5 stars
A contemplative discussion of the connections between music study, world cultures, and cosmology, Jan 6 2006
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Musical Order of the World: Kepler, Hesse, Hindemith (Paperback)
Musicologist, concert pianist, and interdisciplinary scholar Siglind Bruhn presents The Musical Order Of The World: Kepler, Hesse, Hindemith, a contemplative discussion of the connections between music study, world cultures, and cosmology, particularly as researched by great scientific minds. Covering topics from "Music's Moral Power in Ancient China and Hesse's Castalia" to "The Eternal Realm of Numerical Relations", to an extremely close reading of Kepler's poetry concerning the meaning of death. The Musical Order Of The World is a thoughtful and perfectly attuned blend of advanced music study, ground-breaking scholarship, and metaphysical awareness.
