THE FEAST AND HYMNS OF THE VIRGIN MARY’S ASSUMPTION IN SYRIAC COMMUNITY
Öz
This study aims to understand how the Syriac community living in the village of Anıtlı in Mardin's Midyat district experience the Feast of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, organized in the Meryem Ana Church, in the context of the relationship between music and faith. This research was conducted based on cultural analysis. Data were collected through observation and unstructured interviews and analyzed using a descriptive approach. Melodic nucleus was employed to analyze the makâm used in the rituals. As a result of the research, it is seen that music in the Syriac community emerges as an indispensable element for rituals performed with a cyclical system, and the phenomena and meanings constituting the belief are embedded in the melody and rhythm structures and thus in music to serve the purpose of the ritual. The messages conveyed in the rituals are blended with the effect created by the eight main makâm on the basis of theological grounds. In this context, it is understood that the hymns performed during the ritual, inspired by religious texts, have functions such as ensuring the permanence of the sacred texts on congregants participating in the ritual, intensify the religious experience and deepening it.
