Hello all. The Simple Mas is a lovely work and I recommend it highly with one caveat: the English text is that of the I.C.E.T./I.C.E.L. translation as found in...
Greetings, As the music director at St. Matthew's United Church in Calgary I decided that a good dose of Alan Hovhaness music was needed. I've already played...
I am not certain that AH wrote any music for children's choir. But considering his vast oeuvre, that might be a distinct possibility. As for Armenian history...
Greetings, Thanks for the suggestion! I've ordered the book. The website is great and I encourage people to check it out. Not for mere religious reasons, but...
I am delighted that the website was helpful. The Armenian Church has done so much to preserve the culture of their people. You must remember that they've...
