B"H Munich I accidentally discovered a Hovhaness piece while browsing through a second-hand music store in Berlin, and want to know - does anyone here have...
I first noticed Hovhaness while browsing the LP's in Portland, Oregon, years ago. Certain LP's - quite ugly to judge by the cover (Poseidon Society?) - piqued...

Hello! I'm pleased to see that there is a website and a discussion group featuring the life and works of the late, lamented Alan Hovhaness. I first came...

Hello, My flute trio will be performing "Spirit of Ink" (or more likely a few of the movements) next month. I became a Hovhaness devotee when I studied with...
Sounds like a beautiful piece of music. Regarding the role of bird fantasies, I can't be very direct, because, unfortunately there is little biographical data...
Two lps that I just put on Ebay (www.ebay.co.uk) may interest members. These are : Symphony No. 11 (All men are brothers) on Poseidon and Koke no Niwa "Moss...

Dear Zachary: Unfortunately, most people have not been exposed to the beauty of this great composer. Just consider yourself lucky and try to introduce the...
