The ethnomusicologist, monk, choir master Komitas, who lived from 1869-1935, was one of Armenia's greatest composers. His setting of the "Patarag," the Armenian Divine Liturgy, includes this lyrical jewel. Usually sung by an all-male or all-female choir, the piece is performed here by a mixed choir, recorded especially for the "Sacred Treasures III: Choral Masterworks from Russia and Beyond" compilation.
