Zorn’s first soundtrack in three years is a dark and moody setting for a controversial documentary about the Gay Hasidic community. The score for Trembling Before G-d features two of the most inventive and creative musicians out of the burgeoning Brooklyn scene: Jamie Saft on organ and piano and Chris Speed on clarinet, with a special guest appearance by Filmworks regular Cyro Baptista. Over sixty minutes of beautiful and haunting Jewish music, including several pieces from Zorn’s popular book of Masada compositions.
