Choral Trilogy
Samuel Adler
Three challenging works for organ and four-part choir, taken from Psalms and Romans. Highly rhythmic organ writing with wide vocal ranges make these pieces especially attractive to the advanced choir for either worship or concert.

The three works that make up the trilogy are based on biblical texts; Psalm 22, Psalm 149, and Romans 8. Adler points out that these settings “reflect a great interplay of organ and choir so often missing in ordinary church music.” This interplay can be seen especially in the setting of Psalm 22, which has a very difficult organ part. The first two pieces are slow, but do not seem that way because of the very busy rhythms in the organ part. The last work is triumphant song of praise that builds to celebrative hallelujahs at the end. These works will require skilled performers.
—James McCray, The Diapason
