Visual Music - Mapping Notes to Color

I found the section in McDonell's "Visual Music" on mapping sound to color to be the most interest.

Perhaps I just saw it first because it was one of the few pictures in the article, but reading about it was still very interesting. To know that it was Newton, a physicist, who was discovering similarities between music and visuals was very incredible.

I also liked the section afterwards where it talks about an old organ in 1877which opened curtains revealing colored stained glass representing each of the notes. So even back then there was a curiosity about the blending of music and visuals.
