Temcid is a form in Turkish religious music that, in its lexical meaning, conveys the notions of “to honor and exalt, to acclaim”; it encompasses prayers, supplications, and Allah’s invocations performed independently of the call to prayer from the minarets, including münâcâtları.【1】 This practice, found among Cami mûsikîsi traditions, is performed solo or collectively by müezzins or zâkirler, particularly during the three holy months and especially during Ramazan at the pre-dawn hours of sahur.
