MA’ARIV FOR TISH’A B’AV
According to Abraham Baer’s Ba’al T’fillah (Frankfurt-am-Main, 1877)
You can access the whole playlist at SoundCloud by clicking here.

Baer begins Ma’ariv on Tish’a B’Av in Ahavah Rabbah (AR), like regular weekday Maariv.

1. V’Hu Rachum – Baer #155 (AR)
2. Barekhu – Baer #156 (AR)

Only at the chatimah of the first paragaraph of Birkot Shema does Baer transition into special motifs for Tish’a B’Av, in Minor.

3. Él Chai … HaMa’ariv Aravim – Baer #157-159
4. Ve’Ahavatekha … Ohév Amo Yisra’él – Baer #160, 158-159

5. Shema
   At Shema, Baer indicates that we should continue as in the morning, which is in Ahavah Rabbah. I suggest maintaining the minor Tish’a B’Av motifs instead, since that’s where the ear of the congregation is.
   1. Ahavah Rabbah
   2. Minor (Tish’a B’Av Motifs)

5. Adonai Elohékhem Emet – Minor (Tish’a B’Av Motifs)
6. Umalkhuto BeRatson … Ve’Ameru Khulam – Baer #161, 158-159

8. Mi Khamokha
   At Mi Khamokha, Baer once again suggests that we do what the congregation knows from Weekday Shacharit, which is in Ahavah Rabbah. Instead, I suggest one of two directions: (1) Minor (Tish’a B’Av Motifs), or (2) since Mi Khamokha is the place where the cantorial tradition calls for a nigun deyoma (tune of the day), you might consider using the tune for the piyut Éli Tsiyon, foreshadowing our later ritual. Here is Mi Khamokha set to the Éli Tsiyon melody.

8. Malkhutekha … Anu Ve’Ameru – Baer #162
9. Adonai Yimlokh Le’Olam Va’Ed – Minor (Tish’a B’Av Motifs)
10. VeNe’emar … Ga’al Yisra’él – Baer #163, 158-159
11. Uv’Tsel Kenafekha … Shomér Amo Yisra’él La’Ad – Baer #164, 158, 165
12. Yir’u Énénu … Ve’Al Kol Ma’asav – Baer #166, 158

14. Chatsi Kaddish
    Chatzi Kaddish, according to Baer, should be in Weekday Minor, as usual. My rendition here incorporates some of the motifs used above. – Minor Tish’a B’Av Motifs

We proceed with the Amidah privately, after which the book of Eikhah is read. Following Eikhah, we continue as follows:

15. Kaddish Shalém, omitting Titkabél – Weekday Minor
16. Alénu – Weekday Minor
17. Mourner’s Kaddish

* N.B. On Motz’ei Shabbat, Havdalah is delayed until Sunday evening.
