NEW RECORD OF KOMITAS’ ‘HOLY LITURGY’ RELEASED

 

Meeting with Stanford University professor Hrant Khachatrian at a concert in Geghard became the beginning of an interesting and important project for "Hover" chamber choir. Soon after the acquaintance the professor suggests to release the recording of Komitas’ "Holy Liturgy" with an aim of further promotion.

 

Yesterday, the choir represented its new, 8th, album that was recorded in Armenia by VEM Studio and release in German city of Cologne. Arman Padarian, head of the chamber choir, says that the CD was released in 3.000 copies, 1.000 of which will be distributed all over the world, 1.000 will be put for sale at www.amazon.de and www.amazon.com and 1.000 will be brought to Armenia.

 

Choir’s editor, Vahe Begoyan, said that their recording is complete and includes parts of the priest and deacon in the liturgy as well as the Gospel readings.

 

The repertoire of "Hover" chamber choir, founded in 1992, includes more than 170 works of Armenian, Western European and American composers. The choir took part in a number of famous contests and festivals such as International Chorus Polyphonic Contest in Italy (1997, laureate), International Chorus Contest in France (1999, laureate) and First Choir Olympiad in Austria (2000, gold medal).
