Hovhaness: Prayer of St Gregory Op62; Symphony No6
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Alan Hovhaness (b. 1911) is an Armenian-American composer who has probably done more experimenting with modes, styles, and instruments in his music than any composer in this country. Mountains and Rivers Without End (1968) was inspired by the Korean landscape and opens with extended sliding passages for the trombone. His music has often been described as being mystical and you'll find that here, especially in Prayer of St. Gregory (1946) and the Aria from Haroutiun (1948) that also make extensive use of the trumpet. His Symphony 6 Celestial Gate (1955) is about as mystical as you can get and as good as you can get. --Paul Cook
