This specific poem is common in the glorious Church of the East—that is, among the Chaldeans and Assyrians—and possesses at least two different melodies. The first is close to a Maqam (classical mode), and the second resembles a Pesta (a light popular or folkloric tune). Through my humble musical knowledge (I am an amateur and have not read or studied music or violin performance), I have attempted to organize and merge the two melodies. - Dr. Leon Barkho
