May 23, 2013 ~ Shabbat BEHA'ALOTEKHA. Maqam SIGAH.
“I set before you this day a blessing and a curse,” Moses says, contingent on whether Israel observes God’s laws. Once Israel enters the land and dwells in safety, God will choose a place where the Divine Presence shall abide. There Israel will rejoice and bring offerings. Moses cautions against idolatry and false prophecy, and reminds Israel to observe the three pilgrimage Festivals.
Isaiah 54:11–55:5 (3rd week of consolation)
Other Opinion: Jeremiah 23:5-24
For Shabbat Re'eh (Deuteronomy 11:26-16:17), one opinion is that services are conducted in Maqam Rast, while another opinion holds to apply Maqam Ashiran (part of Maqam Bayat family). Maqam Rast (Arabic: "head") would be used, because this Shabbat we begin the month of Elul and the Selihot season, where we arise each morning before sunrise to recite the Selihot services. Maqam Ashiran is appropriate due to this being Shabbat Rosh Hodesh (as per Shelomo Kassin source). HAZZANUT: It is traditional to apply the Bayat Selihot melody of Elecha Hashem (same melody as [Halabi] En Kelohenu) for Semehim Besetam. MISHMARA: Tractates Pesahim, Rosh Hashanah and Sukah, because this Torah portion discusses the Jewish holidays (Sephardic Pizmonim Project, www.pizmonim.com).
If we look at the four years of notes of Hakham Mosheh Ashear we clearly see that he used Maqam Bayati.
The Red Book says Maqam Rast.
Shami sources say either Nawah or Bayat.
The מקאם of the week as per שיר ושבחה הלל וזמרה is ראשט.
All 4 years Ashear prayed ביאת and for שמחים he began the סליחות tunes. For Re`eh שמחים is Elekha in Bayat.
It's the tune that many of you will know as the ביאת High Holiday tune for אין כאלהינו.
37 & 38 were the first day of Rosh Hodesh
39 & 40 were before Rosh Hodesh
Only in 37 & 38 when it was Rosh Hodesh did he use Ajam for ערבית Mossae Shabbat and he used a selihot tune for ראו בנים .
He did not do ואני תפלתי in a holiday tune on any of these 4 years.
I've also seen sources that say to use, sika, iraq, ashiran.In 1937 & 1938 Re-eh fell out on Rosh Hodesh Eloul so it makes sense that he used Elekha Bayat for Semehim.
In 1939 & 1940 Re-eh was still a few days prior to Eloul and he still used Elekha Bayat for Semehim.
Ashear NEVER used a Selihot or Yamim Noraim tune for VaAni Tefilati not for Re-eh, Shofetim, Ki Tesse, Ki Tabo, Nissabim, or VaYelekh. Except for Shabbat TeShoubah.
It is now the community practice to use Yessav HaEl for VaAni Tefilati every Shabbat during the Selihot season.
In 37 & 38 Ashear prayed Mossae Shabbat Re-eh in AJAM and he used Elekha Ajam for Raoo Banim.
Gabriel A. Shrem
Re'eh: RAST/BAYAT
I now dug up an old handwritten paper from Gabriel Shrem from 1950 this is a list of the pieces he did for Perashat Reeh and in fact he used Bayat!

Mishmara
Re'eh, Hosea 7-12 II Chronicles 9-14 Pesahim, Rosh Hashanah and Sukkah
Pesahim: (פסחים) ("Passover Festivals") deals with the prescriptions regarding the Passover and the paschal sacrifice.
Rosh Hashanah: (ראש השנה) ("New Year") deals chiefly with the regulation of the calendar by the new moon, and with the services of the festival of Rosh Hashanah.
Sukkah: (סוכה) ("Booth"); deals with the festival of Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) and the Sukkah itself. Also deals with the Four Species (Lulav, Etrog, Hadas, Aravah -- Palm branch, Citron, Myrtle, Willow) which are waved on Sukkot.
Pesahim (Pesah) and Sukah (Sukot) are mentioned in the perasha, and this perasha falls out at the beginning of the Selihot period, which is prior to Rosh Hashana.
