BRENDA TERZIAN, web http://www.lulu.com/brendaterzian ANAHIT, WARRIORESS book theme excerpt with permission of author, p. 3-4. “…fictitious tale…saga epic … is the swashbuckler, which unfolds the story . . . The invading lords, naxarars, brought darkness upon the face of the earth, with their extermination of the citizens of the earth, to further their own cause. This is the continuing story of Anahit, of peasantry lineage, who was the chosen heroine of her kingdom, Hayasdan, who enters the house of the royal family, destined to become the protector of her people. Bravely, she must lead her people, to fight off the sieges that their kingdom is to suffer from those who are determined to bring upon their land annihilation to those who resist. Together, she and her people must reach out for the strength to cope with the lamenting events of inhumanities and ethnic cleansing that is targeted at them, because of their symbolic place in history. They must go forward to salvage the remnants of their society and to conquer that which has defeated other civilizations along its own course. They must protect and defend, all that they hold near and dear to themselves, for the sake of their own survival, and of the future all mankind.” Link: http://www.lulu.com/brendaterzian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MosJan Posted September 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 it's bad enough for me to stay up till 2.30am and clean your mockery on other members - now in need to answer to this post it's on i have time The choir sings mostly in Aramaic and the score features many world musicians. I included ancient music instruments such as the oud, a Turkish guitar and considered the prince of Armenian instruments. The Duduk, an Armenian wind instrument, somewhat similar to the clarinet, a bamboo flute, and erhu, which is a Chinese violin. My score is sort of a compilation of many stylistic approaches. I utilised some of the musicians that played on The Last Temptation Of Christ for instance.” John Debney started writing the score in mid-October 2003 and recorded the music in London in January. “The choir was recorded at Abbey Road Studio and the entire score was recorded at Air Lyndhurst Studio. Featured performers include Ron Allen on flute, Chris Bleth on Duduk and world winds Featured performers include: Ron Allen: Flute Chris Bleth: Duduk and World Winds John Debney: Vocals & Synth Programmer Ahmed El-Eshmer: Vocals Pedro Eustache: World Winds Mel Gibson: Chants & Vocals Shankar and Gingger: Vocals and Double Violin Karen Han: Erhu Jan Hendrickse: Bamboo Flute Shannon Kingsbury: Vocals Aaron Martin: Vocals & Synth Programmer Levon Minassian: Duduk Naser Mousa: Oud Lisbeth Scott: Lyrics and Vocal Coaching Martin Tillman: Electric Cello The Transylvania State Philharmonic Choir: Voices Tanya Tsarouska: Vocal Solos Track List / Song List: The Olive Garden Bearing The Cross Jesus Arrested Peter Denies Jesus The Stoning Song Of Complaint Simon Is Dismissed Flagellation / Dark Choir / Disciples Mary Goes To Jesus Peaceful But Primitive / Procession Crucifixion Raising The Cross It Is Done Jesus Is Carried Down Resurrecton http://musicfromthemovies.com/feature.asp?ID=10 it was not an azeri tune 2 duduk players was used #1 Levon Minassian: Duduk #2 Chris Bleth: Duduk and World Winds some duduk was played by Pedro Eustache now for the azeri part please see the link ->> http://products.ruggedelegance.com/cgi-bin/amazon/amazon_products_feed.cgi?Operation=ItemLookup&myOperation=CustomerReviews&ItemId=B0001ENY6M&ReviewPage=9 Ancient azeri instrument in the Passion of the Christ I was excited hearing ancient Azerbaijani instrument duduk in the Passion of Christ. I hope people in the US will hear more Azeri music in the future and not only duduk performance. [B]Indeed, [COLOR=red]Azerbaijan(ancient Albania) is arguably the first christian country in the world.[/COLOR] I don't know if John Debney knew this, but it is certainly a very interesting coincidence.[/B] I recommend everyone to listen that link is a bad joke [QUOTE]The Goksel Baktagir / Yurdal Tokcan work “AZERI” written and performed by them, was included in the controversial Mel Gibson film, “The Passion Of The Christ” which is Mel’s interpretation of the last hours in the life of Christ. “Azeri” is part of the Turkish catalog of RH Pozitif Publishing, which is sub-published by us in North America.
