Default House of the Age

Okay, here is a piece describing the basic temporal structure of the solar system. It assigns notes to the positions of Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune over a 179 year period, as this cycle provides the basic rhythm of the centre of mass. This cycle repeats, with the final note as tonic, exactly twelve times each zodiacal age, which is why I call it the House of the Age. I have divided the house into twelve bars, each lasting 14.9 years. Each bar has three beats lasting 4.97 years. The range is two octaves.
Code:
Year	0	5.0	9.9	14.9	19.9	24.9	29.8	34.8	39.8	44.8	49.7	54.7	
Jupiter	C1	A#1	G#2	F#1	E2	D1	C2	A#2	A1	G2	F1	D#2	
Saturn	C1	E1	G#1	C2	E2	G#2	C1	E1	G#1	C2	E2	G#2	
Neptune	C1	C#1	C#1	D1	D#1	E1	E1	F1	F#1	G1	G1	G#1	
													
Year	59.7	64.6	69.6	74.6	79.6	84.5	89.5	94.5	99.4	104.4	109.4	114.4	
Jupiter	C#1	B1	A2	G1	F2	D#1	C#2	B2	A1	G2	F1	D#2
