A touching Elegia by Armenian composer Babajanyan, to whose music I was introduced during my recent visit to Armenia. As a composer, Babajanian was active in most genres, and particularly notable are his many popular songs in collaboration with the leading Russian poets such as Yevgeny Yevtushenko and Robert Rozhdestvensky. Much of Babajanian’s music is rooted in Armenian folk music and folklore. But generally, the way in which he uses Armenian folk music is in the virtuosic style of Rachmaninov and Khachaturian.
