I think that to people who haven't spent serious time listening to it, all organ/choral music "sounds the same".

Let me add some texture to my comment. When I flip through radio stations in the car, I can always identify the contemporary christian station by the music style regardless of if I've heard the song before. It's not about not hearing enough of the music to differentiate songs. It's that they all have the same elements...like Taco Bell, it's only 7 ingredients.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MwDDK3jodw is Eric Whitacre. It's recent. Now contrast to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY4DCG-nFBI by Martin Luther. I doubt those two can ever be confused. And that's not even Xenakis! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jESS3gP1GGE
