Thursday night: sublime and ridiculous

Five links - the first two beautiful, the second two amusing:

- Joy Howard at The Crooked Line on a sublime performance of a Schein motet at Emmanuel Church.

- The Dalai Lama on what he learned from Thomas Merton.

- via Arts Journal, Creature Comforts on “what is Art?”

-via a Penn colleague, an inimitable performance by Nicolas Slonimsky

-and the last, both sublime and ridiculous; again, via Arts Journal
