Orchestra with additional percussion and saxophone

The wavelengths of light from many of the stars can be discovered. We also know the speed of light. From these two facts, we can know their frequencies, and frequencies are musical notes. What if these frequencies could be bought into the human audible range? What an incredible thing, to be able to ´hear´ the sounds of our universe
