At the risk of appearing erudite ;-) ...
The concept of the "Music of the Spheres" dates back at least to the 16th
century, and is a central idea in the Elizabethan world picture:
"The idea that the universe is bound together by harmony or concord is
fundamental in Elizabethan cosmology. The music of the spheres orders the
heavens, and music alike orders and tempers human passions and social
forces." (The Norton Anthology of English Literature, vol 1., p.1049)
In other words, it's merely an attempt at visual paronomasia (punning)...
and, again, WIP.
Best,
