It's hard to know when the orchestra is finished tuning and when the piece begins!
But the secular Oratorio I've posted above is not atonal! But I disagree anyways, I can hum you the first minute of the piano concerto, which must mean at least that it is not an entirely amorphous mess.

Here's a piece by a living composer that's so nice, I actually got three CDs featuring it:

Of course, none of them contain this particular performance. Also, who would have thought 185 singers could make such beautiful music without having a conductor. Then again, this video has 2945 singers (11 times as many):

Who would have guessed the next big composer would come out of Vegas?

Such a shame I never got to see him, when I was working in NY, somehow schedule got in the way all the time.
