* My choir sang this at my best friend's graduation (it was our fall show that year). It was particularly moving, with the parts of Japeth and Yonah sung by two graduating seniors ('This step is once again our fist/We set our feet upon a virgin land...") and the freshman chorus joining in at the last minute:
-->We cannot know what will occur
-->Just make our journey worth the taking...

* "A World Without You," where Adam is [[SadisticChoice so deeply torn]] about whether to stay in the Garden with Father or go with Eve. He says that half his heart is his father's, half is his wife's, and all of it belongs to the garden. Father sounds genuinely distraught when Adam goes with Eve.

** That little reprise of 'Children of Eden' at the end of "In The Beginning" is almost too beautiful for me to actually listen to.
