Sabre Dance

The Sabre Dance is a movement in the final act of the Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian's ballet Gayane, completed in 1942. It evokes a whirling war dance in an Armenian dance, where the dancers display their skill with sabres. Due to its exceptionally exciting rhythm, the Sabre Dance established a place for itself in common concert practice, leading also to various adaptations in popular music. In its middle section it uses an Armenian folk song from Gyumri, Armenia.
Arranged and performed on 12 string guitar by Ed Kihm.

This is a very good arrangement, and this is my ringtone on my phone since 1 year! :)

I have got sometimes questions, ,,what is that? :) And last time,

my cousin did not believe me, that this is played just by one guitarrist :) I told him, playing this, you have to be a great master. :)

Best regards!

Gergely
