Lamentations on the Death of a Child (Excerpts Live) | The Naghash Ensemble of Armenia

Описание: The Naghash Ensemble live in Concert performing excerpts from "Lamentations on the Death of Youth" live at Handelsbeurs Concert Hall in Ghent, one of Belgium’s finest concert halls. A beautiful poem from the 15th century on the death of the poet's son who is killed in battle.

Written by Armenian-American composer John Hodian, The Naghash Ensemble’s “Songs of Exile” is a three-volume work of music based on the texts of Mkrtich Naghash. It has been described as "a profound meditation on man's relationship to God from the perspective of a monk forced to live in exile for many years. Part folk music, part classical and profoundly moving."

The Naghash Ensemble combines the earthy spirituality of Armenian folk song, new classical music, contemporary post-minimalism and the energy of rock and jazz. Three brilliant female vocalists and some of Armenia’s finest instrumentalists on duduk, oud, dhol and piano play new music based on sacred texts by the medieval Armenian mystic poet and priest, Mkrtich Naghash.
