A Song of Dawn
Yasad besodo (Founded in His mystery)
Bayyat/ Husseyni
Author: Joseph Caro. The first two strophes and the last are sung to a regular lahan, composed of five musical units:
| unit 1 | unit 2 | unit 3 | unit 4 | unit 5 |
| first verse |
second verse + first part of third verse |
second part of third verse + fourth verse | fifth verse | sixth verse |
Units 1, 4 and 5 contain two musical motifs, while units 2 and 3 contain three. Strophes 3-8 are sung to different lehanim. The third and fourth are performed to a folk lahan (derived from a Moroccan Jewish source, according to Abraham Caspi). The fifth strophe is sung to a lahan which originated in Salonica, also according to Caspi. The sixth is sung to an ancient lahan in maqam Mahur. The lahan of the seventh strophe is that of the piyyut Ne'ima li, derived from an Arabic song, Ya mali sham, in maqam Rast, recorded by the famous Syrian singer Sabah Fakhri. The eighth strophe is sung to the lahan of the Piyyut Bo'i be-rina, derived from the Arabic song Hawaid min hunna, in maqam Mahur.
