Five Romances for Various Voices and Piano, Op. 2
Arshak Andriasov
About this work:
Arshak Andriasov composed The Five Romances for Various Voices and Piano, Op. 2 between 1997 and 2001 years. He chose the poems of three Russian poets. The poets are: Alexander Pushkin (“Rose” and “To the Sea”), Sergei Esenin (“Good-bye, my Friend, Good-bye” and “Here is the Evening”), and Afanasey Fet (“Don’t Leave Me”). The prevailing mood in the romances is lyrical, either serene and cheerful, or elegiac, with a dramatic overtone. The melodic lines integrate tone and word; harmonies are expressive and colorful, and the piano plays interludes and postludes, having become a true partner of the voice.
