Aram Khachaturian: When I think of Komitas, I breathe the air of my Armenia
Aram Khachaturian about Komitas:
“When I think of Komitas, I breathe the air of my Armenia. The beauty of its mountains, valleys, and gorges irresistibly absorb me.
When I hear Komitas, I see a spring-like thirsty traveler, like the thousands of springs that are scattered throughout my wonderful old land.
I drink with my lips closed and I do not get tired of that pure, clean spring. What purity and innocence and poetry there is in it!!!
Komitas, the founder of the Armenian Music School, was and will be my great teacher.
Komitas' music purifies and elevates your soul, it's a symbol of happiness.
I think that every Armenian musician should know Komitas, considering it his sacred duty to develop the great contributions bequeathed by Komitas”.
