Dear readers, music lovers !
Much has been written about Komitas , is being written nowadays and will be written about by musicologists in future. I also would like to share with you, dear reader, my feelings and thoughts.
I was still very young when I spent my summer holidays in the village of Tskhna in Nakhchivan region with my grandparents. I have a vivid recollection of summer evenings, when the villagers, tired after the working day and tourists from different countries, went out for an evening stroll through the square, talking to each other and exchanging views.
I do remember the village theatre on the stage of which my first performance took place at the age of four. I remember our St. Mary church ( Mariam Astvatsatsin) round which we walked and danced the round dance, and how we greeted a flock of sheep returning from the mountains, how we children played hide-and-seek in the ruins of destroyed houses. And these were the ruined houses of the ancestors of Komitas.
The evening beauty of the starry sky of the village of Tskhna was always filled with the crunch of crickets, the fire-flies’ glittering colours while the ear was caressed by extraordinarily beautiful duduk ( apricot tree flute) sounds.This was my grandfather Karapet playing duduk with his friends on the river bank filling the village of Tskhna with pleasant melodies. The sound of duduk echoed as in a dialogue the sounds of the clarinet coming from different corners of the village.
And many did not know that these cristal clear melodies were collected, purified and returned to the people by Komitas Vardapet.
Komitas lived, is alive and will be alive forever!

Sevan Monastery, Sevan Peninsula, Lake Sevan, Armenia, Eurasia
Sevanavank is a monastic complex located on a peninsula at the northwestern shore of Lake Sevan in the Gegharkunik Province of Armenia, not far from the town of Sevan. Initially the monastery was built at the southern shore of a small island. After the artificial draining of Lake Sevan, which started in the era of Joseph Stalin, the water level fell about 20 metres, and the island transformed into a peninsula. At the southern shore of this newly created peninsula, a guesthouse of the Armenian Writers' Union was built. The eastern shore is occupied by the Armenian president's summer residence, while the monastery's still active seminary moved to newly constructed buildings at the northern shore of the peninsula. Due to easier accessibility (once it became a peninsula), good highway and railway connections with the Armenian capital Yerevan, a well-developed tourist industry in the nearby town of Sevan, and its picturesque location (although less picturesque than it was before the lake level drop), Sevanavank is one of the most visited tourism sights in Armenia. According to an inscription in one of the churches, the monastery of Sevanavank was founded in 874 by Princess Mariam, the daughter of Ashot I (who became a king a decade later). At the time, Armenia was still struggling to free itself from Arab rule. The monastery was strict as it was mainly intended for those monks from Etchmiadzin who had sinned. Jean-Marie Chopin, a French explorer of the Caucasus, visited there in 1830 and wrote of a regimen restraining from meat, wine, youth or women. Another explorer visited the monastery in 1850 and wrote of how manuscripts were still being copied manually. The two churches, Surb Arakelots meaning the Holy Apostoles and Surb Astvatsatsin meaning the Holy Mother of God, are both cruciform plan structures with octagonal tambours. Both are quite similar in appearance. Adjacent are the ruins of a gavit whose roof was originally supported by six wooden columns. Some of the remains of the gavit and its columns can be seen in the Yerevan Museum of History. Reconstruction and restoration efforts took place from 1956 to 1957.

ՆՈՐԱՎԱՆՔ
Նորավանք (Ամաղու Նորավանք) XIII-XIV դարերում կառուցված վանքային համալիրի ընդհանուր անունն է։ Գտնվում է Վայոց Ձորի մարզում, Ամաղու գյուղից 3 կմ հյուսիս-արևելք։ Ըստ Ստեփանոս Օրբելյանի, սրբատեղի է եղել դեռ վաղ միջնադարում։
Noravank (Armenian: Նորավանք, literally new monastery) is a 13th-century Armenian monastery, located 122 km from Yerevan in a narrow gorge made by the Amaghu River, near the town of Yeghegnadzor, Armenia. The gorge is known for its tall, sheer, brick-red cliffs, directly across from the monastery. The monastery is best known for its two-storey Surb Astvatsatsin (Holy Mother of God) church, which grants access to the second floor by way of a narrow stone-made staircase jutting out from the face of building.
The monastery is sometimes called Noravank at Amaghu, with Amaghu being the name of a small and nowadays abandoned village above the canyon, in order to distinguish it from Bgheno-Noravank, near Goris. In the 13th–14th centuries the monastery became a residence of Syunik's bishops and, consequently. a major religious and, later, cultural center of Armenia closely connected with many of the local seats of learning, especially with Gladzor's famed university and library.
