Description
Song based on an Armenian poem by James Russell - for alto and guitar
Performance by the composer, for whom the poem was written:
Vaghə toghem əskez: kərkéra anagán usin
Arden asteghats apsen galarvum eh depi índz
Yev syukə sút eh shəshum te:
"Kezi petk cheh ser."
Tomorrow I leave you: pointless vain passions
Already the plate of the stars spins down towards me
And the breeze whispers this lie:
"You need no love."
The sound sample is performed by the composer.
The pdf includes the song and - as a separate part - the guitar break and coda.
A version for clarinet and guitar is also available.
