(Balm in Gilead)
“The spiritual allusion does not appear until the last movement, which is based on There is a Balm in Gilead, yet even in the first movement, marked Moderato sostenuto, Hailstork’s original theme has certain spiritual-like qualities.” (Lynn René Bayley, Art Music Lounge) String Quartet No. 3 has been included in the Ambrosia Quartet recording Adolphus Hailstork: Swing Low, Sweet Chariot (CD - Albany Records #TROY 1680)
