Opis

In the realm of Armenian sacred and folk music the name which towers above all others is that of Komitas Vardapet (1869-1935). He not only notated the music from oral tradition but also analyzed the music of the service, the chants, the psalmody and presented us with its theoretical basis as practised today. More significant still are his painstaking studies concerning neumes.
