Musica universalis

Musica universalisAnglice music of the spheres et harmony of the spheres. est notio philosophica antiqua quae habet proportiones mathematicas in motionibus corporum caelestium (Solis, Lunae, planetarum) genus musicae esse, quae autem audiri ad verbum non posse plerumque putatur, sed harmonicam esse. Haec notio, funditus mathematica vel religiosa, cogitatores de musica tenebat usque ad finem Renascentiae, eruditos multorum generum movens, inter quos humanistae.

Historia
Notio musicae universalis principium metaphysicum amplectitur quod affirmat coniunctiones mathematicas exprimere qualitates vel tonos energiae qui numeris, angulis, formis, et sonis qui percipi per sensus corporeos possunt, quorum omnes exemplari proportionis inhaerent. Pythagoras primus fuit qui dixit tonum notae musicae proportionem habet longitudinis nervi qui id efficit, et intervalla inter canoras sonorum frequentias rationes numericas simplices constituere.Weiss and Taruskin (2008) p.3. Pythagoras, in ratione Harmonia Sphaeriorum appellata, proposuit Solem, Lunam, et planetas omnes sua murmura unica (resonantiam orbitalem) emittere, in eorum revolutione orbitali condita,Pliny the Elder (77) pp. 277-8, (II.xviii.xx): "occasionally Pythagoras draws on the theory of music, and designates the distance between the Earth and the Moon as a whole tone, that between the Moon and Mercury as a semitone, . . . the seven tones thus producing the so-called diapason, i.e.. a universal harmony". et qualitatem vitae in tellure naturam sonorum caelestium repercutit, quamquam ab hominibus audiri non posse.Anglice: "The doctrine of the Pythagoreans was a combination of science and mysticism. . . . Like Anaximenes they viewed the Universe as one integrated, living organism, surrounded by Divine Air (or more literally 'Breath'), which permeates and animates the whole cosmos and filters through to individual creatures. . . . By partaking of the core essence of the Universe, the individual is said to act as a microcosm in which all the laws in the macrocosm of the Universe are at work" (Houlding 2000:28). Postea, Plato astronomiam et musicam descripsit gemina sensualis agnitionis studia: astronomia oculis, musica auribus dicata, ambabus cognitionem proportionum numeralium postulantibus.<ref>In Politia 7.12, ubi legimus: "As the eyes, said I, seem formed for studying astronomy, so do the ears seem formed for harmonious motions: and these seem to be twin sciences to one another, as also the Pythagoreans say" (Davis 1901:252).</ref>

Christianitas esoterica
Boethius tris ramos notionis musicae mediaevalis in libro De Musica obtulit:Boethius, De institutione musica, I.2 (ed. Friedlein, p. 187).
musica mundana (aliquando musica universalis appellata)
musica humana (interna corpus humani musica)
musica quae in quibusdam constituta est instrumentis (soni a cantoribus et instrumentalistis facti)

Musica universalis, apud scripta Rosicrucianistica Maximi Heindel, auditur in "Regione Cogitationis Concretae," in inferioribus planitiei mentis partibus, quae revera oceanus harmoniae est. In Christianitate esoterica putatur locus ubi status conscientiae Caelum Alterum appellata fit.

Usus in musica hodierna
Paucae compositiones hodiernae aut notionibus musicae universalis vel harmoniae sphaeriorum alludunt aut in eis innituntur. Inter quas sunt Music of the Spheres, album Michaelis Oldfield, "Om," carmen gregis Moody Blues, et singulus Björkianus de "Cosmogonia," in albo Biophilia (2011) editus.
