Question about a note in Pokarekare Ana

On the album Euphonium Virtuoso by Steven Mead, he plays a piece called Pokarekare Ana. At the end of this piece, he hits what to me seems like the most beautifully played high note on a euphonium ever. If anyone knows what note this is that he hits at the end of this piece, please let me know! Also feel free to discuss this piece just in general.

Haven't heard Steven Mead's version yet, but the original is a traditional Maori song (= native New Zealand). Here's Hayley Westenra singing it in the original language. Nice :)
