opis

The music of Alan Hovhaness, one of America’s most prolific composers, enchants with his signature synthesis of East and West.

Influenced by his Armenian heritage and a fascination with nature and spirituality Hovhaness sought to create music “for all people, music which is beautiful and healing.”

This collection of works featuring the violin includes several premiere recordings.

Concerto No. 2, one of a series of ten concertos for various instruments, requires the soloist and ensemble to play using distinctive effects including tone clusters, melisma, and playing without strict measure.

Evocations of Armenian liturgy contrasted with dizzying Scottish jigs can be heard in the Violin Sonata.
