The Prayer Ritual (Hymn), which is one of the important genres of Mevlevi music, is a
kind of work that sometimes used to be performed at the end of the rituals upon
request. The most important quality of the Prayer Ritual, which was performed very
often and enjoyed by the audience due to its lyrics and composition, is who its
writer and composer was.
Today, in the musical notes published and the announcements made during
performances, it is expressed that the Prayer Ritual was written and composed by
Sultan Veled. However, examined by the whole lyrics and the melodic structure of
the work, it is seen that the Prayer Ritual is not a work of Sultan Veled. In this article,
there is an evaluation of the lyrics and the composition of the Prayer Ritual.
