"Counterpoint of Serenities"

, my favorite newly-heard phrase, courtesy of Aldous Huxley's Point Counter Point, about a movement from the late A minor Beethoven String Quartet--"Heilige Dankgesang," indeed!

It's worth finding a recording of the movement and enjoying it with this chapter... A Google search will reveal a pdf file from music.indiana.edu, containing the text. Amazing music with an almost equally amazing text. divine.
