Inspired by Pythagoras’
“Musica Universalis (6th century BC),
Kepler musically classified the planets
In his “Harmonices Mundi” (17th century):
Soprano Mercury,
Alto Venus,
Alto Earth,
Tenor Mars,
Bass Jupiter
And bass Saturn.
Thus he could listen to the song of
The laws of the planetary motion
In the secret concert hall of the Sun.
