Given its complex melodic structure, emotional range, immediacy, and compositional wholeness, the Divine Liturgy of the Armenian Church is the finest example of Armenian spiritual music. The present recording was realized using one of the oldest Armenian musical instruments, the duduk. The most emotional of Armenian instruments, the duduk stands apart for having a timbre that comes closest to the human voice. A quartet of duduks has been used for this recording, the first ever of its kind, in a faithful instrumental rendition of the Divine Liturgy.
