Trisagion (Greek: Τρισάγιον "Thrice Holy") from the 4th century Egyptian Orthodox Liturgy, using the Arabic maqam (music scale) Hozaam which characteristically includes quarter-tones (pitches between semitones).

This song is a unique premiere of music -- performed by choir, oud, organ, cello and percussion -- for the first time anywhere in the history of the world.

Performed on Feb. 2, 2014 at the Cathedral Church of St. Luke in Orlando, Fla. by internationally renowned oudist Ramy Adly with the Orlando Deanery Boychoir and Orlando Deanery Girls Choir, organist Benjamin Lane, cellist Jules Polachek and percussionists Joseph Hodge and Mounib Shihata.
