Vierstimmiger Kanon von einer Anhöhe aus in das Tal gesungen. "Vierstimmigen Concent."

Four figures stand on a rocky elevation at the right, blowing into long acoustic tubes aimed toward a building and a group of listeners in the distance. A large banner at the top displays the musical notation for the 'four-voice concord,' while a label in the center of the valley marks the distance as '3 Meylen' (three miles). The scene visualizes how sound travels and remains coherent over vast distances through specific geographic conditions.

This image originates from Athanasius Kircher's work on acoustics, reflecting his belief that the laws of sound and harmony are fundamental to the structure of the universe. It demonstrates the transition from Renaissance 'natural magic' to early modern natural philosophy by applying mathematical principles to the physical behavior of sound in the environment.
