Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the delicate flute opening of Papillon into the driving, rhythmic pulse of the main theme
The marketplace sequence in Dances of Jankayla where the percussion shifts into a complex, festive polyrhythm
The expansive, soaring synth pads that close out Sailing, mimicking a final horizon line
