The liturgical music of Kzmr is primarily comprised of [[Nrþk'irdu|Nrþk'irduist]] choral repertoire, though there are other forms such as [[Shidamism|Shidamist]] vocal music of the religion's minority in [[Srn]], or the canticular forms of the spoken formulas in Kzmr geomancy.

To reconcile these two basic facts, there are several methods of scalar mapping typically used in this genre of music, which are as follows:
