Well there is that whole golden ratio thing, perhaps you've heard of it? While I personally find all of that a stretch, plenty of people find merit in it.
And so far as JS Bach is concerned, it's pretty clear he was a mathematical thinker even if it wasn't necessary deliberate in his composing. Maybe it was? I don't know and don't really care because a casual listen makes it obvious.
Western classical music at its core is built around Pythagorean temperament, so it stands to reason that some outgrowth of this system can be modeled using pure mathematics, does it not?
I realize there are people who have contempt for Western music for various reasons, but I'd tell them to hate the game, not the player... it's not the music's fault that crappy culture manifested.
