This book covers the creative work of one of the most prolific and prominent American-Armenian composers, Alan Hovhaness, in the context of East-West cultural interactions. It exposes characteristic features of different branches of Armenian monophonic music, traces modal structures, genre implications and allusions of Indian, Japanese, Korean musical traditions mirrored in his works. Through the analysis of his “multi-voiced” Eastern compositions, his complex musical identity is evaluated with a special emphasis on the manifestation of the phenomenon of “Armenian-ness”.
