This collection of recent works by Hayg Boyadjian draws form the composer’s diverse musical and non-musical influences for compositional inspiration, and the result is very exciting. \u00a0Boyadjian was born in Paris to Armenian parents; he moved to Argentina as a young boy, and he spent most of his life in the United States. \u00a0Composed between 2003 and 2009, these six pieces were written for and dedicated to specific musicians, some of who perform on this CD.<\/p>\n

Two pieces, “Mi Tango” and “Vientos,” reflect on Boyadjian’s Argentinean roots. \u00a0In homage to the modern tango created by Astor Piazzolla, the former utilizes the syncopated rhythms and sudden mood\/style changes that are trademarks of Piazzolla’s beloved compositional style. \u00a0Boyadjian creates his own brand of concert hall tango by displacing accents and mixing meters, which takes the form further from the dance hall than even Piazzolla explored. \u00a0The latter is a reference to how Boyadjian’s music is blown from his diverse influence. \u00a0An excellent juxtaposition of Armenian and Argentinean musical elements permeates this work written for guitar, violin and mandolin. \u00a0There are moments when the conversation between the guitar and mandolin symbolize an East-West parley.<\/p>\n

If your ears are longing for a fusion of sounds, you will be inspired by Boyadjian’s compositions. \u00a0Do not, however, expect to be able to dance on the dance-inspired moments or feel like singing along to the songs. \u00a0Do, however, be prepared for an interesting excursion into the passion that comes from so many different roots.<\/p>\n
