I agree Eric. The definite article establishes the link since one can
apply the indefinite article to "full-fugued song" but not
(conventionally) to "universe." There is also an added force here: the
definite article can denote things already mentioned ( music and space),
or from the nature of the case, actually or potentially existent, or
unique. This brings me back to a point I mentioned earlier: that the
speaker is also thinking of the song of the universe as blending all songs
and sounds --- in infinitude.
