English term or phrase: climax
Stadlmayr, on the other hand, creates a modest *climax* at the Crucifixus (especially on the word “passus”), from which the “Resurrexit” emerges with growing confidence.

J'ai traduit par apogée. Voyez-vous quelque chose de mieux ?

paroxysme


Explanation:
pour de la musique c'est ce que je dirais..

"d'un tambour avant l'introduction d'un cycle rythmique proposé par l'instrument
à percussion , tempo allant du lent au rapide avant d'atteintre le paroxysme "
http://www.tranquanghai.net/CithareCoreenne.html

"Le spectacle a atteint son paroxysme lors de l'éxecution des titres comme "Xombo "
http://www.mosaiquedumonde.org/HTML/expo/jaya/intro.htm

ou "un moment fort" pour employer des mots plus simples et "branchés"

"Autre moment fort de l'album : une splendide tranche de breakdance "

\"Chants d\'oiseaux en guise d\'introduction, voix distordue, batterie downtempo pour un petit morceau qui ne sert que d\'introduction avant le moment fort du concert, une suite très proche d\'un dub-electro, appuyé par une rythmique arrivant à contrepoint faisant de ce titre un tube taillé pour le dancefloor. \"

\"Le moment fort de ce concert a sans doute été \" Kingdom \", où le public était
au paroxysme du bonheur, transcendé et heureux d\'un show aussi réussi \"

Apothéose


Explanation:
Another way to express "peak point, culmination...". Quite literary. Applies to a piece of music too.
