In the context of the vari\u00adous issues related to national music and a threatened national identity that were resulting from the historical-political cir\u00adcumstances of the time, Komitas Varda\u00adpet\u2019s activity, that resembled a cultural feat, and the choice of the directions of his scientific researches, as being ones aimed at typically Armenian religious and folk music, are quite reasonable. Yet, among numerous unsurpassable activi\u00adties it is truly worth mentioning that he studied the musical folklore of different eastern nations, namely that of the Per\u00adsians, Turks and the Kurds, highlighting the social historic context of creation of songs and regarding cultural interrela\u00adtions exceptionally important. Komitas has his profound place as a pioneer in the ethnomusicology of his time. None\u00adtheless, some of his polarized views and approaches, which gave rise to misinter\u00adpretations especially in the publications of the authors of the Diaspora, allow to rethink and enhance the musical identi\u00adty paradigm \u201c\u2026to have a complete idea of our national music\u201d. A\u0161u\u0142 art, with its national folk and common eastern roots and the \u201cSayat-Nova\u201d cultural symbol build up the multilayered portrayal of Armenian music art, emblematizing its dual nature on East-West crossroads. Looking upon folk professional a\u0161u\u0142 song art as a historical component of cultural heritage contributes to expanding the boundaries of \u201cArmenianness\u201d and paves a pathway to the recognition of the Ar\u00admenian music tradition in the Middle East multi-voice space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Musicologist, Doctor of Arts, Professor, Honored Worker of Art of RA, Leading Researcher at the Institute of Arts of the National Academy of Sciences of RA, Corresponding Member of the Ararat Inter\u00adnational Academy of Sciences (Paris), Pr\u00adfessor at the Komitas State Conservatory in Yerevan, a member of the Composers\u2019 Union of Armenia.
