A Christian progressive rock album produced in 1978, featuring a score composed by German composers Guntram Pauli, Christian Kabitz, and Klaus Haimerl. The album brings together a large ensemble of musicians, including guitarist Billy Lang, known for his performances across diverse styles ranging from US disco acts like Amanda Lear and ORS to German new wave groups like Xynn; Herrmann Weindorf, a member of a German jazz-rock group; and Hannes Beckmann of Beckmann & Sinto. Together, they deliver grand symphonic rock with a massive arrangement that incorporates band, orchestra, and choir.Though the album embraces a religious theme, the standout track is B2, where acoustic guitar and flute organically intertwine to create a stunning New Age jazz-rock sound reminiscent of Lenny Mac Dowell and Kolbe & Illenberger.
A2: Requiem et Kyrie
