### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Interesting insights into the Medieval Worldview
  

*by T***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2015*

Harmonies of Heaven and Earth is an intriguing read if you are musically inclined and have a background knowledge of both music and medieval metaphysics. For the lay person it is a little more difficult to wade through. Still, a lay person can gain an appreciation for both music and speculative knowledge of its effects on matter through a perusal of this book.The author, Mr. Joscelyn Godwin, applies knowledge from folklore, and mysticism to the subject of music, introducing several themes including the linkage of music on matter, living things, and their behavior. He explores the affinity between music and the soul, and then he turns to medieval metaphysics, exploring the 'Chain of Being,' the birth place of music in higher realms of being and its descent to earth.In his final chapters he discusses the  musical scale and its correlations to planets, utilizing medieval conceptions of cosmology and their notions of the 'spheres.' For me, the most compelling part of this book was it gave insight into the medieval worldview and its ideal of a unified conception of  the universe; a conception that was first shattered by Copernicus, then Einstein and the quantum physicists. We still await the unified theory that the medievalists believed they held in their grasps.The downside of this book is there is little information on recent advances in science and the ways it would compel a re-conceptualization of music and its effects on matter. Instead, the reader wades through speculations on where Gurdjieff obtained his law of seven from, among other anecdotes that are not current science.Still if one is interested in alchemy, hermetic knowledge, and esoteric lore this will make a nice edition to the library.

    Awesome.
  

*by C***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2022*

This was a fun and informative read. The last section was dense with diagrams and theories that I will revisit as I learn more, so I mostly trudged through those—Fascinating, regardless.
