TRADITIONAL MUSIC COLLECTING ACTIVITIES FROM KOMITAS TO OUR DAYS<\/strong><\/p>\n The activities on the collecting, system\u00adizing and the preservation of tradition\u00adal Armenian music began as early as in the mid XIX century. While the first at\u00adtempts were to some extent superficial, they were important from the point of view of founding the field. Consider\u00ading the experience of his predecessors, Komitas approached the issue very seri\u00adously. After Komitas, the collective work has never ceased, but on the contrary, many scholars engaged into this activi\u00adty, among whom musicologists, ethnol\u00adogists, choreologists, performers and even non-specialists. In various institu\u00adtions archives of the collected samples were created. A huge portion of the col\u00adlections has been systemized and stud\u00adied, and a portion has been published. There are also private archives that con\u00adtain folk music recordings, but only a few of them have been studied. During various years various problems, issues, approaches, contradictions emerged re\u00adlated to the collective work. Whilst re\u00adsulting from technological development, year by year the possibilities and tools for song recording increased, but as the traditions retreated, the number of infor\u00admant singers and performers decreased. In this work we are attempting to out\u00adline how music collecting activities de\u00adveloped after Komitas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Musicologist, folklorist, researcher at the Folk Music Department at the Institute of Arts of the National Academy of Scienc\u00ades of the Republic of Armenia.
