Two astronomical metaphors, eclipses and revolutions, illustrate the concept of time in the theoretical writings of Vincenzo Galilei, a distinguished sixteenth-century lutenist and father of Galileo. The “eclipses” represent the forgetting of ancient music theory, a heritage that Galilei deemed worthy of rediscovery and reinterpretation. The “revolutions,” on the other hand, allude to a concrete grafting of the ideals of ancient music into modernity, with the goal of significantly influencing the musical landscape of the future.
