Greatest Armenian Ever

[xBaron Dants]

Hey, what about Baruyr Sevag and Yeghishe Charents?

Well, I like Sevag more than Charents....but yea, they were great too.



But Gomidas......akh Gomidas.



Welcome back, by the way. I got scared that you disappeared for a while.

Did Gomidas write the Anushi opera? I don't know much about him..

Thanks for the welcome.

Gomidas went from village to village, transcribing folk Armenian music and songs, and saving them from disappearance. He has also composed his own music, and re-created the Armenian Mass.

The pieces Haberban, Shogher Jan, and the always-goosebump-giving Groong should be familiar. Best interpretation you can find is probably the ones done by the Gomidas (or Komitas) String Quartet. Or if you want to hear the words too, Armenak Shahmuradian is probably the most famous singer of Gomidas. I actually have a CD where Shahmuradian sings 9-10 songs, and there are 5-6 songs sung by Gomidas himself. First time I heard it, it was like hearing Jesus's voice.


Anoushi Opera was written by another great Armenian, Hovannes Tumanian.

I think it was Armen Tigranian wrote the Anoush Opera; the music that is.

Armen Tigranian wrote the Opera based on Toumanian's poem....so yeah, I guess he had a bigger part to play.

[Darorinag]

Ooooh, yes, now I remember.. Yes yes... how could I ever forget Tumanian.
