Mathematics and Music Meld

Saturday, April 23, 2011

By Rev. Dr. Larry Delano Coleman

Mathematics and Music Meld


Mathematics and music meld:
Intuitive and innate
Yet both separate and cognate.

Symmetrical and asymmetrical:
So mellifluous and true, that
Notations and symbols endue.

Rhythmic and eurhythmic:
Measured and inspired,
autochthonous and acquired.

Both beautiful equations:
Enticing and repulsing
the soul’s inner fold,
with harmonics and metrics
at once nuanced and bold .

Each devoted disciple--
Answers non-negotiable decrees:
reverentially working
beyond their lees.
