Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the sparse, haunting a cappella vocals of Agnus Dei into the slow-burning, organ-led groove of Agnus Dei, Part One.

The brief, isolated breath of the Flute (Cadenza) that cleanses the palate before the full ensemble returns.

The triumphant, layered choral climax during the final minutes of Gloria, Part One, where sacred music and jazz fusion fully merge.
