A lament from the late 5th century dedicated to the Armenian hero Vartan. The chant immortalized the moments following Vartans' death when the entire Armenian nation joined Vartan's mother in a deep sorrowful sob. This instrumental interpretation is performed on the Duduk, an Armenian woodwind instrument made from the apricot tree.

La musique ne ment jamais, mais quand le son vient de la respiration du musicien, comme dans le chant d’ailleurs, l ´ émotion est incomparable, tout notre corps nous le dit, et lui aussi ne ment jamais 🙏
