Translated by E. Gulbekian, edited with introduction by N.V.
Nersessian. Komitas Vardapet was the giant of Armenian sacred and
folk music. Eight of Komitas's principal musicological studies have
been selected from his Collected Works published in Yerevan in
1941.
The study of the Armenian system of notation called Khazs (Neumes)
is of significance both for Armenian and Byzantine music from a
historical and aesthetic point of view. Over the centuries the
Armenian people have created a musical culture which is largely
inaccessible because of the fact that to this day the medieval
notation of this music has not been deciphered. Prof. R.A.
At'ayan's unique study based on the abundant manuscript sources of
the Institute of Ancient Manuscripts (Erevan) not only traces the
origin and development of this notation system convincingly, but
also re-creates the tunes of the numerous chants and songs composed
over the centuries.
Translated into English by N.V. Nersessian. The study of the Armenian system of notation called Khazs (Neumes) is of significance both for Armenian and Byzantine music from a historical and aesthetic point of view.
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. Eight of
Komitas's principle musicological studies have been selected from
his collected works published in Erevan in 1941. Of these, four are
on folk music and four published in German and one in French. These
have been reproduced in this volume in the original. The papers on
folk music describe Armenian folk/country music and dances together
with the important plough song of Lori (in north eastern Armenia).
The papers on sacred music discuss the liturgy and tunes sung in
the Armenian church. The studies were first published between the
years 1894 and 1914.
Covering a range of subjects in the major western languages, this
bibliography examines 165 periodicals. The articles are classified
under 38 subject headings, and touch on such disciplines as
biblical and liturgical studies, patristics, church history,
Byzantine and Middle Eastern studies.
