Sidenote of interest:

I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that Adon Olam originated in the
High Holiday liturgy.  When it was added to the daily and Shabbat liturgy,
it had a position in the early part of the service.  It was later moved to
the end - maybe as a way to bring us full circle or to end the service on a
more upbeat note.

B'shira,
Jennifer
