If you go with Aristotle, You then have to ask which of these forms is more realative to the concept of the universal form. Which of these is more accepted by the intellect. You could also argue that if your senses lie, in this case your ears lie, then music is nothing but the deception of ones senses, which in turn makes the Gothic Arch the more rational of the two choices. It exists to provide support. The Visual and artistic aspects of the Gothic Arch are secondary to it's rational purpose.
So there is a stab at it from Aristotle's philosophy. This is an awesome question, I will have to think about it some more and see if I can come up with some other ideas.
