String Quartet No. 2

Like QUARTET 1, this work is a reflection on a philosophical subject; my second QUARTET describes the move from active worldly considerations to the stillness of a disciplined mind, and thus forms a good introduction to the first. The six movements consider how (Part One) everyday concerns, in the light of the practice of meditation are seen with a better understanding of activity. Then (Part Two), living with detachment, life is understood as a dance and the aspirant becomes ready for true Stillness.
