Armen Tigrani Tigranian or Tigranyan or Dikranian (26 December 1879, Alexandropol – 10 February 1950, Tbilisi)〔Hovhanness I. Pilikian: ''Armenian Cinema: A Source Book'', p. 51〕 was an Armenian music composer and conductor. His best-known works were two national operas, ''Anoush'' (premiere: Alexandropol, 4 (17) August 1912, the first opera performance in Armenia) and ''Davit Bek'' (1950); the latter of which premiered only months before his death and was his final composition.〔(Opera Glass )〕 ==Biography== Tigranian was born in Alexandropol, Armenia. He started becoming interested in music at a very early age. In 1902, Tigranian finished the Tbilisi Music College, studying composition with Makar Ekmalyan. He devoted himself to teaching and continued composing music, mainly songs and romances in Armenian folk traditions. Tigranian's opera ''Anoush'', written in 1908 and remodelled in 1932, is called the "national opera of the Armenian people".〔''Ovation'': Volume 2, 1981〕 ''Anoush'', based on Hovhannes Tumanian's story of country romance and tragedy captured the attention of audiences and became a perennial of the concert repertoire.〔''Historical Dictionary of Armenia'', by Rouben Paul Adalian, p. 454〕 The American premiere of ''Anoush'' took place in 1981 at Michigan Opera Theatre. The history of Karabakh Melikdoms inspired the opera ''David Bek'' (1950).〔''The Heritage of Armenian Literature: From the Sixth to the Eighteenth Century''. Jack Hacikyan, Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 5–6.〕 Among the other works by Tigranian are the drama ''Leily and Mejnun'', ''Eastern Dance'' for symphonic orchestra and ''New Spring'' chorus for 4 voices. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Armen Tigranian」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
