Which is indeed based on the old Pythagorean theory of the "music of the spheres"... where the whole universe is organised by musical (mathematical) harmonies. Unfortunately from the Pythagorean POV we can't hear or influence that higher Music but with making music we can connect and share with it - and finally tune ourselves with it.
