Its epic grandeur. I suppose that could be perceived as bombastic
pomposity. And there's the prominent organ part. It certainly doesn't
have the drive of the Bruckner, but it has a kind of static massiveness
that seems appropriate.
BTW, if you like the Bruckner, I recommend you take a listen to the Dvorak
Te Deum, a shamefully neglected piece. The opening makes the Bruckner seem
static in comparison.
