I like it a lot, it's so well composed and orchestrated! I think overall this is a really solid, nice sounding track. The only thing I can say is maybe you can play around with more variation in your instrumentation in the various sections you have. For example, you have nice instrumental differences between the A and B sections, but the instrumentation stays very consistent within those sections, with the choir always singing the main theme in the A section, and the brass playing the main theme in the B section. Maybe passing the main theme to other instruments within those sections might help make your music even more exciting?

Gospel Choir is one of my favorite things. You say this choir is in Nucleus? I will have to look into that because this sounds like a really good choir. Also, What scale did you use? I am curious since I can't figure it out by ear.
