TIGRAN MANSURIAN: ROMANCES
"Romances": Vocal-Intsrumental works
Through the initiative and efforts of the Koghb Foundation, and within the framework of the Third Mansurian International Competition, the complete collection of Tigran Mansurian’s vocal-instrumental works from different periods has been published for the first time.
The compositions in the collection are presented in chronological order. To support non-Armenian-speaking performers, the scores include Latin-script phonetic transcriptions. At the end of the book, readers will find English translations of all the works: some prepared by the American-Armenian conductor and musicologist, devoted advocate of Mansurian’s music, Vatsche Barsoumian, and the others created specifically for this publication by Norayr Manvelyan.
At the Maestro’s request, the cover of the collection features “Flowers,” a still life by Martiros Saryan. The foreword and annotations were written by musicologist, composer, and pianist Artur Avanesov.
