SKU: ET.ENS23
Composed by Alexander Arutiunian. Contemporary. Composed 1984. Duration 20'. Editions BIM #ENS23. Published by Editions BIM (ET.ENS23).ISBN 9790207000538.
The four movements which comprise “Armenian Scenes" are pictures of Armenian life: “Morning Song", “Drinking Song", “Song of Grief", “Wedding Procession" illustrate the cultural settings and traditions of this southern people, who have been seared by their dramatic history, but have always arisen from the ashes once more.
These “Armenian Scenes" were created at the request of Sam Pilafian, American tubist from Boston (MA, USA) of Armenian descent, and were premiered in 1984 by the Empire Brass Quintet in Cambridge (MA, USA). Various recordings of this work are available. The work was a set piece at the 3rd International Competition for Brass Quintets in Narbonne, France, in May 1990.

Fantastic Work
Challenging but a great piece to play. The Armenian Scenes is broken into 4 movements:Morning SongDrinking Song - Opt. PercussionSong of GriefWedding Procession - Opt. PercussionMorning and Song of Grief are slow like chorale movements that sound full and have great harmony. The challenge is the Drinking Song which is set in a 6/8 feel and the Wedding Procession which is a march feel tempo with running figures for the trumpets and syncopated rhythms. Overall a great piece to listen to and even better one to play.
