Armenian folk singer and gusan Sayat-Nova is among those rare figures in literature and art whose creative legacy has withstood the test of the greatest critic - time. The farther he recedes into the depths of history, the more he shines, crystallized and luminous, becoming ever more beloved by future generations.
Sayat-Nova was a literary innovator, a preacher of love and justice, a poet, singer, composer, and musician-a creator who elevated folk-gusan art to the highest echelons of world poetry.
This work includes selected excerpts from Sayat-Nova’s creative masterpieces.
