a very inspiring rendition of a beautiful piece of music..

A very beautiful and meditative piece of music, especially as recorded in this lovely church. Hovhaness is one of my most favorite composers, a marvelous voice in contemporary times. When "Mysterious Mountain" (Symphony No. 2 composed in 1955, commissioned by Stokowski) was first performed, Hubert Roussel commented, "Hovhaness produces a texture of the utmost beauty, gentleness, distinction and expressive potential." The "Alleluia and Fugue" from 1941 is similarly contemplative in character.

This song was immortalized, or popularized if you will, in the 1980 PBS series COSMOS, episode 13 "Who Speaks For Earth?". The imagery, narrative and music fit together perfectly. It's here on Youtube. I encourage you to seek it out.

This piece is on a CD by Empire Brass. It is the only thing on the CD worth listening to. Thanks for posting it!

Nice playing, I interpret it with a smaller voice in the beginning, as if he were just thrown into the pit, and as the 2nd passage comes I add desperation and hope, and at the end, I just play it as written with the emoition in the other two because Hovhanness was such a genious that he wrote it so it was nearly impossible to ruin it stylistically.

Alan Hovhaness was not an Armenian genius.
Alan Hovhaness was not an American Genius.
Hovhaness was a world genius of time immemorial.

One of my favorite pieces from a composer who deserves far more recognition than he often gets.
