Refining music, architecture, and the arts was part of the magnificent Renaissance quest to see a perfect order for our world and the universe. The early stages of science included investigations into the heavenly designs of mathematics and music. Before the industrial revolution, there was more certainty about the divine order; it was believed that the association between all forms of life was preordained in a perfect pattern. Most New Age cosmology is close to this old worldview, yet it also blends social justice, personal growth, and freedom to create an expansive perspective.

Almost 1,500 years before the Renaissance, Pythagoras began the quest into the relationship between harmony, health, and heaven. The myths and mysteries around his life lead us to question the accuracy of every story, but we can agree that he was the first to separate the powers of music into multiple uses.

Sixth-century Roman philosopher Boethius set out three divisions of music:

• Musica Instrumentalis was ordinarily played on the harp and flute, but includes the voice.

• Musica Humana was the ever-living music and rhythm produced by the body, even though it was mostly unheard. It was the song of life created by the harmonious resonance between the soul and the body. If it became dissonant, then ill health would occur in mind and body.

• Musica Mundana was created by the universe and more commonly referred to as the music of the spheres (which I mentioned earlier). This is observed as the movement and structure of heavenly and earthly elements as they orbit in the cosmos in harmonic patterns.
