Tigran Hamasyan - "Mother, Where Are You"

Armenian Jazz pianist, Tigran Hamasyan, brings his astonishing talents to KUTX's Studio 1A with a rendition of the traditional folk song of Armenia, "Mother, Where Are You?"

[@JacksonnNova]

I had a chance to be on Tigran live in Odessa, Ukraine. All crowd was silent all way long, trying to get all notes he played. He is a great musician and his song tells more than any songs with lyric. ❤

This is like a knife ripping my soul. It’s impossible not to remember my beautiful mother. Damn, how much I miss her.

[@zbalian6390]

In the Armenian Church, this hymn is sung during midnight mass on Maundy Thursday. It is usually sung solo by a female chorist from behind the altar to create a mystical atmosphere -- l used to be one myself!

[@lolobits159]

Any video I can look up? Would love to hear that

[@janemartin2416]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3SmeqJvf8Rgj5I Also a lovely vocal version!!!

[@alenavagyann]

Actually it is sang firstly by a male solist representing Jesus Christ then at the end Mary and His Son have a dialogue sing😍😢

[@LanaArete]

@@lolobits159I believe Lusine Zakarian sings this.

[@abhinav1860]

One of the greatest musicians of our time.

[@julianpischler9378]

If venture to say ‘all time’, been getting back into his music lately and am consistently blown away by not only the rhythmic complexity but also just how beautiful and transfixing the actual sound is.

[@DavidBojay]

I just found him last month and I immediately knew he was too

[@janetdilanchyan2700]

You make me a proud Armenian. You are just amazing!!!!

[@user-yn2ct2ie9m]

"The artist lives in a dreamlike inner world which is as realistic as the physical one. The artist lives in the world where the moment of the unconscious creation is the way to feel conscious, from which poems and melodies and stories arise, inspired by the divine mystery. Unutterable seconds of longing, subliminal realization, and mostly joy fill the body as a work of art, a poem, or a melody is being born into this world for no apparent reason, but only for the humanity to discover what is invisible: the divine mystery." - Tigran Hamyasan

[@paolofrigeriomusic3691]

This is pure blessing. A dialogue with an unknow dimension. No more space, no more time. A state of wonder. This is about the big journey, a whole step of evolution for mankind. Tigran is a gift for all of us. paolo from Italy

When I close my eyes and listen to this closely.. I cry. He's too good

[@lianasargsyan423]

I'm sure this music does absolutely the same in any Armenian soul around the world, it's something on a DNA level.... But when I read the comments by other nationals, I see that Tigran's music is immensely powerful and universal. I am blessed, I've been twice to his live concerts. Thank you Tigran for who you are and what you bring to this world!

[@sergeventurini5459]

Le plus terrible, c'est quand la musique s'arrête et le silence qui suit ensuite. Un abîme. Merveilleux morceau fait de délicatesse rythmique et de méditation lyrique. Merci Tigran, merci beaucoup !

[@ofelyaharutyunyan5592]

this is more than beautiful - it's just perfect!!!!!!! and it's so emotional and pure because it's composed by motives of Armenian folk music)))) most of his music conatins pieces of Armenian folk 'cause he's an Armenian and I'm so proud of him for being such a talented and genius musician!!!!

[@michaelshark1]

Soo well sad I totally agree. Such a unique talent.

[@linadavidian8848]

I hear pure Armenian and Komitas. This goes far back from Ravek, Akbeniz ...

[@almageist]

Those guys were influenced by the folk music of these regions. Albeniz coming from Spain where the Umayyad caliphate operated giving a huge influence of Arabic musical forms and harmony (also why Latin music incorporates those same ideas as Spanish culture spread into the new world) and Debussy who attempting to find new sounds and textures looked to the 'orient' and found what he was looking for. This stuff is much older than 20th century music. That's the beauty of music, its all one big mish mash of influences. When you get someone like Tigran coming along though and he can combine so many genres together seamlessly it just becomes good music and nothing more. The 21st century is an amazing time to be a music listener as we've never been so privileged to have such amazing genre bending music at our disposal!
