Meditations through the Quran is an important work for all students of number, music and religion. McClain studies and ancient tonal influence on the images and metaphors in the Quran while giving the Westerner a glimpse of the philosophical implications of its beauty and poetry. A possible musical symbolism in the Ka'ba and its relation to arithmetical elements in Hindu, Buddhist and Judaeo-Christian text is explored. His appendix on the Holy Mountain explicates a harmonical matrix which has been fundamental to all the world religions.
