Annunciation (Subara) · Week 1 · Sunday · Evening (Ramsha) · d'Wasaliqe
Description
Onitha d'wasaliqe of the first Sunday of Suwara, Resh Qala. This tune is special - it's basically a repeating set of verse pairs, with a concluding statement, so different examples might have different number of verses. The simplest version with two verse pairs and one concluding statement (the resh qala) can also be sung to the tune of Mannu Sapeq.
