    Conductor Solves the Mystery of Mysterious Mountain

    American-Armenian Composer writes with a clear musical language

    by David Srebnik

    Alan Hovhaness (1911-2000) was an American composer of Armenian
    heritage - and he had a fascination for the Far East. He's best known
    for his symphony, "Mysterious Mountain."

    Hovhaness champion, conductor Gerard Schwarz, hears a distinct sound
    and musical language that "is clear as a bell," but he insists there
    is something even more important in Hovhaness' music.

    Listen to Gerard Schwarz by clicking on the audio bar above.

    Conductor Gerard Schwarz is a leading champion of the multicultural
    and personality-infused music by Alan Hovhaness. There are many
    websites where you can learn and hear more about the exotic and rich
    orchestral tapestries heard in Hovhaness's orchestral music. Here is
    one.
