Author: Meir
The 'lahan' is divided into three sections. The first is sung by the congregation the second and third constitute an antiphonal structure sung by solo singer and congregation. There is a modal transition between the sections: the first is based on the Ajam 'maqam' the second on Saba and the third on Jaharqa. Melodic structure: first section a-b-a-b (verses 1 2 3 4); second section c-c'-d (verse 5); third section e-e'-e'-h (verse 6 [7]).
