Gomidas Vartabed - Yerkaran (2014)
On this CD of Gomidas, several religious, primarily the ezan, the call to prayer, and non-religious pieces are presented with a new arrangement.
While listening to the Yerkaran CD, you will notice how sounds in Turkey together constitute a culture in the Anatolian geography. You will feel it from the pieces that, with such a passion, the Armenian musician has compiled in Armenian, Kurdish and Turkish. All of them were compiled by Gomidas Vartabed.
This CD and its book, prepared by Ari Hergel and Burcu Yildiz, offer both music and notes on the artist, his life and the period he lived in.
Anywhere in Anatolia, if you go up a high hill, if you go down a plain, the music, the songs, the folklore tunes that reach your ear reflect a pluralist culture to you.
