Panchakoshas (Devanagari: पंचकोश, the five sheaths), are the layers of body that seemingly cover the Atman (Self or Consciousness).
My opininon is that music is a beautiful gift from our deepest universal self with the purpose of driving each human entinty to his own life experience of the 5 layers of consciousness. Associating each level of consciousness (Panchakosha) to a specific music could be helpful for understanding and feeling the importance of music in our life.
Annamaya corresponds to the first body, the physical structure of the subject. This basic body is the target of the most primitive form of music: music for dancing. Dancing and movements can be considered as the music original humus.
Humans' and animals' brains share some specific neurons for counting up to 4/5. This biological funcion is the target of dancing music: continus pulse, simple melodies and words, ripetitive rhythm patterns and harmonic structures, activate a positive and ancestral reaction.
