Dedicated to the 100th Anniversary of the Armenian Genocide
Basso Ostinato is based on unique Armenian tetrachordal scales and is polyphonic in nature. At times up to 5 voices are heard at once, imitating a symphony orchestra. As the theme progresses and additional voices enter, the music becomes progressively more intense, resulting in one final occurrence of the theme after the climax.Karén Hakobyan
