United Nation Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation has
issued the following news release:
Course of Armenian Duduk
Maestro Gevorg Dabagyan will give lessons in duduk, an Armenian musical
instrument inscribed in the UNESCO Representative List of Intangible
Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Duduk and its music were inscribed on the Representative List of the
Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2008 (originally proclaimed
in 2005). The duduk, or "dziranapogh" in Armenian, is a double-reed
woodwind instrument made of apricot wood, conventionally called the
"Armenian oboe". The roots of its music go back to ancient times. The
Armenian duduk is distinctive in construction and performance technique
and, characterized by a warm and soft timbre. It accompanies popular
Armenian traditional songs and dances of the various regions and is
played at events, such as weddings and funerals; over the last few
decades, its popularity has faded, in particular in the rural areas
where it originated.
Minas Lourian, director of the music section of the Studies and
Documentation Centre of Armenian Culture of Venice, has invited Gevorg
Dabagyan to teach this year's edition of the Course of Armenian duduk.
Dabagyan is a major living expert in this very ancient instrument
and the main duduk teacher at the Yerevan State Conservatory. He has
founded several ensembles, including Shoghaken, a group dedicated
to preserving the very rich Armenian folk music heritage. Liturgical
music also features prominently in Dabagyan's vast repertory.
