Program Notes
Selected from the Gayaneh, these three colorful examples of Aram Khachaturian's writing for ballet are based on rhythms and melodic motives from different ethnic groups. They range from the very Slavic-Ukranian Gopak (Hopak) to the Armenian Dance of the Maidens and the Kurdish Mountaineers' Dance. There is much variance in instrumental color and tension from festive and party-like, through sultry and romantic, to tense and almost angry. These may be performed in any combination -- a single stand-alone dance movement, a contrasting pair, or all three in a complete set.
