Description

This is the original version (transcribed from the recording) of "The Swallows", a sad song in 7-time, in which the swallows, unable to return, and dying in far-off lands, represent the Armenians who had to leave their land after the tragedy of the 1915 genocide.

The audio sample is a performance by the composer.

It can also be heard on YouTube as a slideshow video
( http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=vucw5zpeGzQ )

Other versions, for alto and piano and for tenor and piano (in which the piano is rather more ornamented than the original guitar part) can also be obtained here on MyScoreStore.
