Unlike the major and minor, which are the leading tonalities of European and world music, Armenian music is based on conjunct rather than disjunct tetra\u00adchords. Those two principles of the re\u00adlationship between the tetrachords had theoretically already been presented by Ancient Greek philosophers. Komi\u00adtas discovered this principle as being present in the Armenian music as well, based on the analysis of the thousands of folk and church music pieces.<br \/>\nThe basic question put in this paper is the following: what are the similarities and the differences between the Arme\u00adnian music and major-minor? Are they indeed comparable? When answering these questions, I consider the modal structures, as well as the relationship be\u00adtween the stable\/unstable tones and the consonance\/dissonance of sonorities. As a result of the comparison, another inter\u00adesting question arises: how is the synthe\u00adsis of such different cultures, as the Ar\u00admenian traditional music and the Euro\u00adpean harmony, carried out so effectively by many Armenian composers? Why did Komitas himself prefer a totally unique form of polyphony?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Musicologist, PhD in Arts, Head of the Re\u00adsearch Department of the Komitas Mu\u00adseum-Institute, Senior Researcher at the Institute of Arts of the National Academy of Sciences of RA, Lecturer at the Komitas State Conservatory, Liaison Officer for Ar\u00admenia at the International Council for Tra\u00additional Music.
