Armenian Jazz pianist, Tigran Hamasyan, brings his astonishing talents to KUTX's Studio 1A with a rendition of the traditional folk song of Armenia, "Mother, Where Are You?"
In the Armenian Church, this hymn is sung during midnight mass on Maundy Thursday. It is usually sung solo by a female chorist from behind the altar to create a mystical atmosphere -- l used to be one myself!
If venture to say ‘all time’, been getting back into his music lately and am consistently blown away by not only the rhythmic complexity but also just how beautiful and transfixing the actual sound is.
This is pure blessing. A dialogue with an unknow dimension. No more space, no more time. A state of wonder. This is about the big journey, a whole step of evolution for mankind. Tigran is a gift for all of us. paolo from Italy
"The artist lives in a dreamlike inner world which is as realistic as the physical one. The artist lives in the world where the moment of the unconscious creation is the way to feel conscious, from which poems and melodies and stories arise, inspired by the divine mystery. Unutterable seconds of longing, subliminal realization, and mostly joy fill the body as a work of art, a poem, or a melody is being born into this world for no apparent reason, but only for the humanity to discover what is invisible: the divine mystery." - Tigran Hamyasan
Le plus terrible, c'est quand la musique s'arrête et le silence qui suit ensuite. Un abîme. Merveilleux morceau fait de délicatesse rythmique et de méditation lyrique. Merci Tigran, merci beaucoup !
Que de spiritualité émotionnelle ! La présence du sacré de l humain .... Je suis toute émue je pense à ma mère qui m a appris l amour du beau ...de la joie ...de la spiritualité Merci Tigran Hamasyan
I'm sure this music does absolutely the same in any Armenian soul around the world, it's something on a DNA level.... But when I read the comments by other nationals, I see that Tigran's music is immensely powerful and universal. I am blessed, I've been twice to his live concerts. Thank you Tigran for who you are and what you bring to this world!
Mournful, hopeful, sublime. Such a gift to be able to compose and perform at this level of technique and expressiveness. And such a quality visual and audio capture to boot. 10/10.
Those guys were influenced by the folk music of these regions. Albeniz coming from Spain where the Umayyad caliphate operated giving a huge influence of Arabic musical forms and harmony (also why Latin music incorporates those same ideas as Spanish culture spread into the new world) and Debussy who attempting to find new sounds and textures looked to the 'orient' and found what he was looking for. This stuff is much older than 20th century music. That's the beauty of music, its all one big mish mash of influences. When you get someone like Tigran coming along though and he can combine so many genres together seamlessly it just becomes good music and nothing more. The 21st century is an amazing time to be a music listener as we've never been so privileged to have such amazing genre bending music at our disposal!
я так скучаю по маме.... она хоть и жива... но у нас нет никаких отношений..... до этого были разные.... а теперь не смерть.....но разлука навсегда.... это отображает как-раз это произведение... спасибо большое Tigran Hamasyan!🤐😣😢😓🤕😪
Ուր ես մայր իմ/ Where are you mother (բառեր/ Lyrics) Ո՞ւր ես, մայր իմ. քաղցր եւ անուշ. Սէր ծնողիդ զիս այրէ. Լցան աչք իմ դառն արտասւօք, Ոչ ոք ունիմ, որ սրբէ. Ազդ արարէք մօրն իմոյ, Որ գայ կարօտն իւր առնէ. Գուցէ երբեք յետոյ եկեալ Եւ զիս մեռեալ գտանէ. Ո'վ Մարիամ Մագդաղինէ Եւ ազգակից Սողոմէ. Վա'յ ինձ, Յիսուս Միածին Որդի Արեգակն կորուսի. Ո՞ւր ես, առաջ լոյս իմ Որդեակ Հոգւոյս հոգի իմ Զաւակ. Վայ իմ որդեակ, անոյշ գառնուկ Առանց քեզի մնացի որբուկ. Ո'վ Մարիամ, եւ դուք, կանա'յք, Ինձ հետ լացէք, ողբացէք:

Doğdum bende geç kalacağım herkes gibi anneme çok derinden hissediyorum sevgimi ulaşamıyorum ona ulaşıcam ama bende geç kalacağım biliyorum geçte olsa anlayacağım tek varlığımı benliğimi. Uzaklaşıyorum tekrar bu sert kalbim çok acımasız sevgiye korkuyor galiba ama büyüyorum halbuki bir çocuğun daha çok ihtiyaç duyması gerekmezmi anneye.geliyorum ona oda bana annem hala aynı meyerse beni bekliyormuş halâ hiçbirşey yapmamışım gibi ve geliyor o an ellerimden kayıp gidiyor şimdi bekleme sırası bende bu müziğin sonu ile geldim sana 🍀♾
