Armenian Music: A Comprehensive Bibliography and Discography FROM THE PUBLISHER
"Armenian Music: A Comprehensive Bibliography and Discography covers Armenian music and its context and culture, making it an indispensable work for ethno-musicologists and others with an interest in the subject. It also includes a discography that examines the spectrum from classical music to pop and folk." This first inclusive bibliography provides a firm basis for any research on the music itself, the Armenian diaspora, and such related areas as anthropology, cultural history, Sovietology, and West Asian social history.
