Four Hayrens for viola and piano 中提琴钢琴 中提琴加钢琴

本次出版的曲目是根据曼苏里安早先创作的同名声乐作品《为女中音和钢琴而作的四首海伦》（Four Hayrens）（1967 年）改编而成。40 年后的 2007 年（2010 年再次修订），在著名小提琴家金-卡什卡什安（Kim Kashkashian）的建议下，该曲目被改编为中提琴和钢琴曲。声乐版于 60 年代末在亚美尼亚埃里温首演，此后在世界许多国家上演。这首曲子取材于纳哈佩特-库恰克（Nahapet Quchak）的四句诗，即所谓的 "海伦斯"（Hayrens），纳哈佩特-库恰克是 16 世纪亚美尼亚最著名的大诗人和民歌手。根据古老的东方传统，他的诗句赞美妇女和女孩的爱情和美貌，哀悼恋人的悲痛，并歌颂亚美尼亚的崇高风光。它有自己独特的韵律，蕴含着对生活的某种感悟。海伦诗通过民间传说和著名作家的诗歌口口相传。为了向器乐演奏者传达这四首海伦的情感内涵，本版本对其文本进行了自由改编

原文简介:
The present publication is based on an earlier vocal composition by Mansurian with the same title Four Hayrens for mezzo-soprano and piano (1967). Forty years later, in 2007 (and again revised in 2010), the cycle was adapted for viola and piano at the suggestion of the famous violist Kim Kashkashian. The vocal version had its premiere in Yerevan, Armenia, in the late 60s, and thereafter it was performed in many countries around the world. Ever since it was mostly Kim Kashkashian who has been playing the viola version.The composition is based on four verses, so-called Hayrens, by Nahapet Quchak, the eldest and best-known Armenian poet and folk singer who lived in the 16th century. According to ancient oriental tradition his verses praise the love and beauty of women and girls, bemoan the lover’s grief, and extol the sublimity of the Armenian landscape.The word “Hayren” actually means “Armenian” or “in Armenian style”, but also defines a genre or form of medieval poetry still very much loved in Armenia today. It has its special prosody and connotes the expression of a certain sense of life. Hayrens were passed down by word of mouth in folklore as well as in the poetry of known authors. In order to convey the emotional content of these four Hayrens to the instrumentalists their texts are printed in a free adaptation in the edition.
