News: July 2000 Composer Alan Hovhaness Dies at 89 Alan Hovhaness Photo courtesy of C.F. Peters lan Hovhaness, a prolific composer who melded Western and Asian musical genres, died in Seattle on June 21, 2000. He was 89 and had suffered from a severe stomach ailment for the last three years. Hovhaness was born in Somerville, MA, on March 8, 1911 to Haroutiun Hovhaness Chakmakjian, a chemistry professor, and Madeline Scott Chakmakjian. His Scottish mother thought her husband's Armenian last name sounded too foreign for a young child growing up in a suburb of Boston, so she changed his name to Alan Hovhaness when he was still quite young. Hovhaness began improvising even before he had piano lessons, and began writing music as soon as he learned to read it at the age of seven. By age 13, Hovhaness had already written two operas, Bluebeard and Daniel , as well as a number of smaller works. His early piano teachers were Adelaide Proctor and Heinrich Gebhard, and his first composition studies were with Frederick Converse at the New England Conservatory of Music (following a brief period at Tufts The pivotal moment in Hovhaness' development as a composer was in 1942, when he won a scholarship to study at

Classical Editor: Rob Barnett Founder Len Mullenger ALAN HOVHANESS Catalogue of Works Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 (Classified Index) ALAN HOVHANESS Alan Hovhaness, of Armenian and Scottish descent, was born in Somerville, Massachusetts, on March 8, 1911. He began composing as soon as he could read music, at the age of four - a spontaneous act which seems to have had about it the inevitability of an unquestioned law of nature. Since that time he has been like a river flowing into every form of musical expression. From pieces for various solo instruments and chamber ensembles, including oriental instruments, his art expands nobly through large orchestras and choirs. His output is vast. as indeed are the giant melodies which characterize much of his work. At the time of the second world war, Hovhaness made the courageous decision to destroy almost his entire previous output - more than a thousand works. This oft quoted "legend" is true, his reasons being bound up in his ever expanding awareness of the potential of combining Eastern with Western influences, which cast feelings of strong dissatisfaction on his work prior to that time. A detailed analysis and study of 7th century Armenian religious music, classical music of South India, orchestral music of Tang Dynasty China, Ah-ak of Korea, and Gagaku of Japan, revolutionized Hovhaness's approach to his own composing.

Classical Editor: Rob Barnett Founder Len Mullenger: Len@musicweb.uk.net AN OVERVIEW OF THE MUSIC OF ALAN HOVHANESS ON CD Approaching the music of Alan Hovhaness can be a daunting prospect for new listeners, as it would be for any prolific composer from Antonio Vivaldi to Bohuslav Martin . Hovhaness's 467 opus numbers include 67 symphonies, 22 concertos, 67 sonatas for various instrument combinations, and 7 operas, and there are 48 CDs including his music on the market. This overview discusses recordings listed in the 2001 edition of Schwann Opus which I have found most rewarding. Hovhaness's two most recorded works, and among the most rewarding, are his Symphony No. 2 "Mysterious Mountain" op. 132 with lush sweeping melodies like an oriental-tinged Sibelius, and Prayer of St. Gregory for trumpet and strings (or organ) op. 62. By far the best performance of Mysterious Mountain is the 1958 recording by Fritz Reiner and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra ( RCA V61957 AmazonUK AmazonUS ) although Gerard Schwarz and the Seattle Symphony have a fine rendition ( Delos 3157 Amazon UK AmazonUS ). The Delos recording also includes

Vivaldi good, the Brandenburgs of course good, Mozart played by Isabelle Van Keulen surprisingly good, Hovhaness and Glass prolific but maybe good... Classical Net on Hovhaness' Lousadzak ...individual sections of the orchestra are instructed to continuously repeat a cycle of melody without temporal reference to other members of the ensemble. Most obviously, this technique (one of the most common components of the "Hovhaness style"), creates a gorgeous sense of rhythmic mystery from which (in "Lousadzak") the solo piano slowly emerges... at other times, the technique clearly foreshadows the work not just of modern minimalists such as Terry Riley and John Adams but also the entire Ambient/New Age school of composition...

H > Hovhaness, Alan Alan Hovhaness (1911 - 2000) View Discography Alan Hovhaness is one of Americas most idiosyncratic musical pioneers who sought a musical reconciliation between East and West, spiritual and mundane, long before it was fashionable to do so. Born near Boston, Massachusetts to an Armenian father and a mother of Scottish ancestry, his upbringing was more or less conventionally American. As a boy he composed in secret, once remarking "My family thought writing music was abnormal, so they would confiscate my music if they caught me in the act." An early musical mentor and personal friend was Sibelius, from whom Hovhaness perhaps acquired his love of long lyrical melodies. The composers receptivity to Armenian culture was reignited around 1940 when he became organist at Bostons Armenian cathedral. Here he was exposed to early liturgical Armenian music as well as the works of the composer-priest Komitas Vartabed. From 1944 began a series of works with Armenian titles or subject matter. Essentially comprising Hovhaness's Armenian period', these bold works have huge monodic melodies over static drones somewhat foreshadowing the Minimalists of the late 1960s. Hovhaness himself described this music as giant melodies in simple and complex modes around stationery or movable tonal centres". From 1944 too, he introduced his spirit murmur, where musical phrases are repeated over and over by each player independently to produce a buzzing textural blur. This so called
