Tigran Mansurian - Sonata da Chiesa for Viola and Piano (2015)

Kim Kashkashian, viola Tatevik Mokatsian, piano US Premiere Performance DILIJAN CHAMBER MUSIC SERIES SEASON XII! Concert 2 - October 20, 2017 Zipper Hall, Los Angeles www.dilijanlarkmusicalsociety.com It is a known fact that a “sonata da chiesa” is an instrumental work of the baroque era that was performed in churches between the different parts of the liturgy as an intermediate inset. By turning to this kind of sonata, I have first emphasized the fact that this sonata for viola and piano would be premiered in a church. Besides, I have preferred its general character to be “intermediate” – intermediate between baroque sonatas and those of more recent times, intermediate between the “alert texture” typical to musical material and “inspired speech”, and finally also intermediate between speech and silence. The sonata is dedicated to the memory of Komitas vardapet, the Classic of Armenian music, who has spent the final days of his creative life in the city of Istanbul and has celebrated God many times in the Church where the work was premiered. I am grateful to Kim Kashkashian, my good friend and a devotee of Komitas, for her unparalleled input in the genesis of this work, to her and the pianist Péter Nagy for breathing life into the Sonata. Tigran Mansurian
