Editing Yared (section)

===Reception===
St. Yared is regarded by [[Ethiopian Studies]] scholars as the founder of ''[[qene]]''. His musical work swayed Yohannes of Gebla in [[Wollo Province|Wollo]] and Tewanei of Deg Istifa in [[Gojjam]], who improvised into complex forms. The work also contributed to service from time of day to day of the year, depending on valuable occasional feasts and religious seasons.

Oh! Music!...

Ah! Music that I heard the angels' sing in Heaven

Uttering Holy! Holy! Lord!

The Heavens and the Earth are filled with

Your holy praise

Tradition holds that St. Yared ascended to Heaven supported by angels [[Seraph]] and [[Cherub]], singing "Holy! Holy! Holy!", a paraphrase of [[Ancient of Days]] in [[Book of Daniel]]. In addition, it augmented supernatural entities bolstered him: three white angels, and three white birds singing with animals and beasts. His compositions also reflect agriculture and seasons. For example, for the rainy season (mid-June to mid-September) and for the harvest season (mid-September to mid-December):<ref name=":1" />
;Rainy season
<blockquote>
Listen to the sound of the footsteps of the rain!

When the rains pour down, the poor rejoice.

Listen to the sound of the footsteps of the rain!

When the rains pour down, the hungry are satiated...

The clouds hear and obey His word;

And the streams brim with water.

And the furrows quench their thirst...
</blockquote>
;Harvest season
<blockquote>
In its own time, the rainy season has passed.

Now is established the season of plenty.

Behold! The plants have blossomed and brought forth fruit...
