Interesting piece of info I found on wikipedia while reading up on sacred geometry;
   
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacred_geometry
   
  The discovery of the relationship of geometry and mathematics to music within the Classical Period is attributed to Pythagoras, who found that a string stopped halfway along its length produced an octave, while a ratio of 3/2 produced a fifth interval and 4/3 produced a fourth. Pythagoreans believed that this gave music powers of healing, as it could "harmonize" the out-of-balance body, and this belief has been revived in modern times[1].
