Product Description

Based on an Armenian Song by Sayat-Nova.

Inch Gonim Hekimen is an Armenian song composed by the gifted 18th century poet and musician Harutyun Sayatyan, known as Sayat-Nova (1712-1795). He was a court musician in the ancient kingdom of Georgia and later became a traveling troubadour (ashugh or kousan), singing and playing the 3-stringed kamancha.

In this setting, the energetic beginning should be played freely. In Middle Eastern music, a taqsim, or taksim, is a solo improvised introduction often with a background instrument playing a repeated low tone or drone. Here, a drone in the L.H. establishes the key of E minor with octave tremolo. The piano accompaniment settles into a 10/8 meter.

Constance Shelengian is a music educator, composer, choral conductor, arranger, and performer. She has played guitar/keyboard in Armenian folk ensembles and organ in Armenian churches in New York and Pennsylvania. She is committed to preserving the rich Armenian folk music tradition by arranging and transcribing Armenian songs for piano.
