Publisher's Synopsis
The Geometry of Music is a book written by Dane Rudhyar, which explores the relationship between music and geometry. The author argues that music is not just a collection of sounds, but a complex system of patterns and structures that can be analyzed through mathematical principles. The book presents a comprehensive overview of the different geometrical concepts that underlie music, including the circle, the spiral, the triangle, and the pentagon. Through a series of case studies, Rudhyar demonstrates how these geometrical principles are used in various musical traditions, from classical Western music to Eastern music and jazz. The book also explores the role of geometry in music theory, including the concept of harmony and the use of ratios and proportions in musical composition. Overall, The Geometry of Music offers a unique and fascinating perspective on the art of music, revealing the hidden geometrical structures that underlie its beauty and complexity.THIS 22 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Rebirth of Hindu Music, by D.
