Author: Hakobian Hasmik

Oct 4 2007

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 4, NOYAN TAPAN. The music of the Armenian duduk was
proclaimed to be one of the oral non-material cultural masterpieces
of the humanity by the UNESCO in 2005, and the National Commission of
Armenia for UNESCO committed itself to implement a number of programs
during five years directed at the propaganda of duduk.

According to the information provided to a Noyan Tapan correspondent by
duduk-player Gevorg Dabaghian, a republican contest of duduk-players
will be organized in the Armenian Choral Society on October 6, within
the frameworks of the program, and more than forty duduk-players
aged 14-35 will take part in this contest. The contest will have two
stages. Cash prizes are determined for the first, second and third
places, an encouraging prize has also been determined.

The personnel of the jury consists of Davit Ghazarian, the Head of the
Choral Society, Arzas Oskanian and Alina Pahlevanian, professors of the
Yerevan State Conservatory after Komitas, tar-player Norayr Davtian,
RA honorable artist Georgi Minasov, and composer Jirayr Altunian.

Gevorg Dabaghian also declared that a "Duduk manual" has already
been published for the purpose of propagadizing the duduk, in which
the analytical articles of famous artists are presented, which once
again prove that the duduk is an Armenian instrument and that Armenia
is its homeland.

Duduk courses of high qualification have been held in all the regions
of the republic for the past two years. "My goal is to do everything
so as the duduk that is widely spread throughout the world keeps to
its pure and natural state. We try to represent our national musical
instrument in the right way through the courses conducted in the
regions of the republic," Gevorg Dabaghian mentioned. The duduk-player
also stated that a great number of children study in the department of
the duduk in schools of music, in difference to other folk instruments.
