  • Syriac sacral music is music in the Syriac language as used in the liturgy of Syriac Christianity. Historically it is best known from and important for its part in the development of Christian sacred music since Antiquity. The Syriac Churches have a musical system based on ancient principals today known as ‘Maqam’, there are 8 maqams used in the church and these are known as Kadmoyo(Maqam Bayati,Maqam Ussak), Trayono, Tlithoyo, Rbi'oyo(Maqam Rast), Hmishoyo, Shtithoyo, Shbi'oyo and Tminoyo(Maqam Hijaz) (in order from one to eight). The most predominant works of the Syriac Churches music was collected in an anthology book named Beth Gazo (Psalms of the treasury of Maqams). There are also musical psalms other than this repertoire of 700 psalms, among them are the Fenqitho of the Syriac Orthodox and Maronite Churches, as well as the Khudra of the Church of the East.
