music name: "vagharshapati"
Armenian classical music by: Komitas (1869 - 1935)
performed by: "Komitas qaryak" (Komitas quartet)

further information:

Komitas Vartapet "Soghomon Soghomonyan"was born in 1869 and died in 1935. He was an Armenian priest, composer, choir leader, singer, music ethnologist, music pedagogue and musicologist. He is the founder of modern Armenian classical music.
Unfortunately he witnessed the Armenian genocide in 1915 till 1918, which caused him to become mentally ill for the last 20 years of his life. During these years he remained silent and never composed again.

  • sorry! but ur musician was a plagiarist!

    i'm not gonna repeat the same thing. Komitas wrote the original piece!

    u (azeris) are used to doing so always! like saying that Armenian churches or cross-stones belong to Christian azeri ancestors!!!!!

    azeris have never been Christians.

    this piece belongs to Komitas 100%

  • good job!actually i dont have time to make a movie. thats too bad, but maybe someday i do.

  • go ahead buddy!

  • @sonataghiyeva Komitas Vardapet : an Armenian priest, composer, choir leader, singer, music ethnologist, music pedagogue and musicologist. Many regard him as the founder of modern Armenian classical music.(More than an opera composer as you can see).  ( WIKIPEDIA) If the description of this artist didnt convinced you , search it in google. And dont write something without facts , becouse the only thing I can do is to laugh becouse of your ignorance.What is more, good comp. armenian or azer

  • @sonataghiyeva Musical contributions by Uzeyir Hajibeyov : 7 operas and 3 musical comedies that Hajibeyov composed throughout his life . In Leyli and Majnun, the uniqueness of the traditional modal music of mugham was incorporated into a Western genre with the use of instruments indigenous to both traditions. (Wikipedia). He was a opera composer more that traditional azeri song composer(only mougham )....

  • @ramiz1891 listen up u little ignorant!

    Armenians DID accept Christianity in the FIRST century during our king Abgar's time. Even the king himself & almost all aristocrats accepted Christianity in FIRST century AD. 301 AD is simply the accepted date for Armenia officially accepting Christianity as the relision of the whole nation.

  • this is komitas music :komitas made music for the world not only for armenia:this name vaghrashpat was where armenians and turks faught a war ,why would a azeri even make a song about it?

  • its 100% armenian music and tones

    

  • Hoyaner is correct. If you listen it has middle easter? armenian influence. especially komitas. komitas developed the main part of armenian culture through music. This is one of his greatest works.

  • A pure piece of music by Komitas (1869-1935), where the Armenian spirit is wonderfully revealed.

  • @ramiz1891 What Albanian government accepted it? Albania was under Arshaguni (Arsacid/Parthian) rule during 72 A.D. The following centuries it was under Sassanian and Roman rule, with what political autonomy could they do such a thing. So the 4,000 Armenian churches lost after 1915 in present day Turkey are Albanian too or are they Turkish? Regarding your claims to present day Armenia, their are many medieval Armenian capitals in present day Armenia.ex: Dvin, Vagharshapat, Ani, Artashat, Armavir

  • @hoynarnar . IS CONTINUED. Really Azerbaijanians accepted Muslim in VIII century, and until VIII century they were Christian. Remember, in Apostle period Armenian territory was far from present Armenia, and present Armenia was formed in territory of Caucasus Albania, i. e. in azerbaijanians' territory.

  • @donmarley69 . You demonstrate your poor knowledge on history. Remember well. Armenians accepted Christianity in in 301. But Albanians (people of Caucasus Albania) accepted it in 72 during apostle period. So Apostles hadn't known that 250 years later Armenians will accept Christianity and hadn't set churches for them in advance. So Armenians don't have apostle churches at all. All churches called apostle churches in Armenia belong to people of Caucasus Albania, i.e. to Azerbaijanians.
