In this eleven-minute video history of Western classical music, that line (at 2:15) describing the effect of early polyphony (as a recording of the first full setting of the Catholic mass plays in the background) struck a chord, specifically this one:
"Then the enchantment became more and more dreamlike, until he felt that an endless river of swelling gold and silver was flowing over him, too multitudinous for its pattern to be comprehended; it became part of the throbbing air about him, and it drenched and drowned him."
Treason doth neuer prosper? What's the Reason?
for if it prosper none dare call it treason.
