Mehayar - بيات محير

Introduction

Maqam Mehayar Bayat - or Mohayar- מוחייאר - is on the scale of Hoseni (lower jins on Bayat on D-duqah, upper jins Bayat on A-Hoseni). Sayir: Upper jins Bayat are developed before descending to Bayat on D-duqah. This maqam is its own section in the Red Book and most other pizmonim manuscripts.

For "Maqam of the Week" it can be applied (according to at least one of the maqam source lists) for Shabbat: Terumah, Kallah, Shim'ou, Shubah, and the eighth day of a holiday.

 This maqam is related to Maqam Saba according to the Turkish, but related to Bayat and Hoseni according to others.
