Click here to download >>) Included are 30 songs with piano, with four different soloists: soprano Elisabeth Pehlivanian, mezzo-soprano Maro Partamian, tenor Henrik Mihranian, and baritone Gourgen (George) Suny, age 85, son of the composer, with pianist Armena Marderosian. Four songs are duets, and the last song, Lorik, is in four voices. Many of these songs are written as four-part choral works, and can also be performed as solos or duets with choral parts on piano or other instruments – Suni’s special versatility! Our 44-page CD booklet, along with biographies, maps, Armenian alphabet, glossary, and photos, has the text for each song shown three ways, side by side: the Armenian text, the English transliteration (about transliterations >>), and the English translation, with some musicological footnotes.
