Filmworks IX: Trembling Before G-d is the ninth album of film scores by John Zorn.[1] The album was released on Zorn's label, Tzadik Records, in 2000 and features the music that Zorn wrote and recorded for the documentary Trembling Before G-d which was directed by Sandi Simcha Dubowski.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars noting that "Trembling Before G-D is a high-water mark. Not for John Zorn, because he sets new ones for himself each and every time he releases something, but for other composers, particularly those of film soundtracks. Without the images, Zorn has given us a work of solemn beauty, a work that uses silence and tradition even as it reinvents the places in which they inhabit. Certainly this is his most "accessible" music, whatever that means, but it is also—simultaneously—sacred music, secular music, and American classical music of the highest order".[2]
