Abstract:
This book analyzes the relationships that exist between esotericism and music from Antiquity to the 20th century, investigating ways in which magic, astrology, alchemy, divination, and cabbala interact with music. Ce livre offre un panorama des relations entre l'ésotérisme et la musique de l'Antiquité au 20ème siècle et montre comment la magie, l'astrologie, l'alchimie, la divination et la cabale interagissent avec l'art et la science des sons.
