Moments Worth Waiting For
The delicate harp introduction on Alice in Wonderland that feels like falling through a rabbit hole.
The soaring, high-register sustain on the final note of When You Wish Upon a Star.
The lush, cinematic swell of strings that opens Camelot, immediately establishing the album's fantasy theme.
