Composing the World: Harmony in the Medieval Platonic Cosmos - Critical Conjunctures in Music and Sound
Hicks, Andrew (Assistant Professor of Music and Medieval Studies, Assistant Professor of Music and Medieval Studies, Cornell University)
Taking in hand the current "discovery" that we can listen to the cosmos, Andrew Hicks argues that sound-and the harmonious coordination of sounds, sources, and listeners-has always been an integral part of the history of studying the cosmos. In Composing the World, Hicks presents a narrative tour through medieval Platonic cosmology with reflections on important philosophical movements along the way. The book will resonate with a variety of readers, and itencourages us to rethink the role of music and sound within our greater understanding of the universe.
