MartyRoss Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 http://www.suniproject.org/images/grikor7.jpghttp://www.suniproject.org/images/armenian_name.gif Grikor Mirzaian Suni, composer, conductor, ethnomusicologist, and teacher, was steeped both in his own Armenian folk tradition and, later, European classical music. He was first and foremost a composer of choral music, and creator of scores of vocal solos, and orchestral, operatic, instrumental, and piano works. Some of these are from one-voiced folk material, which Suni rendered polyphonically in four parts. Suni gave harmony to melody in a way that "sounds Armenian" but is also uniquely "Suni." "Suni's treatment of the songs was a revelation"; "the harmonization of folk songs...very beautiful"; "never heard more exquisitely shaded chorus work..., Suni's conducting left nothing to be desired"; (from reviews of his first Philadelphia concert, 1924).
