The Ukrainian folk music is an immense source of inspiration, particularly the ritual songs, which represent the deepest, and therefore the most valuable layer of a nation?s creativity. The arrangement belongs to the early works of the composer. Therefore, someone may be surprised with the quite freely form interpretation of the work. This, however, by no way makes the composition less interesting. Rather on the contrary, weird music images and sudden changes of the tempo may draw attention of both, those who prefer ?light? pop or jazz music, and those who is fond of contemporary academic style. The Ukrainian title of the song is just an allegorical expression that has no particular meaning. This expression can be only quite approximately translated into English as ?Cuckoo?, that?s why I didn?t display this translation in the English version of the work?s title. The PDF-file contains 11 pages (main score 4, parts ? 4 pages, cover and the title page). Fingering is indicated where appropriate. Duration: approx. 3.44 min.

Petros Shoujounian, an Armenian/Canadian composer has written Twelve Duos for Trumpets based on the folksong collection of the Armenian priest Komitas, known as the founder of the Armenian national school of music and one of the pioneers of ethnomusicology. Below are comments from the composer about his inspiration in writing these Twelve Duos for Trumpets.

My interest in the collected works of Komitas's ethnographical songs was aroused when I was introduced to Bela Bartok's similar works followed by Alan Hovhaness's huge creative world. Bartok completed his project having at his disposal a large collection of ethnographic music, while Hovhannes studied the wealth of Komitas's music with great interest. It is difficult to say to what extent the Armenian underpinning of Hovhannes's works is nurtured by Komitas's musical world, but his classical interpretation of the Armenian ethnographical music created a huge interest in the listener. Needless to say, there is also Aram Katchaturian's legacy, which at its core has the ardent presence of the Armenian spirit, nurtured by Komitas's very existence.

Komitas has left a collection of about 3,000 cleaned versions of the ethnographic song and dance pieces, of which 1,700 has reaches us, about 400 of which have been activated. I believe that in those beautiful musical fragments reside the power to be revived, once we enrich them with colorful musical instruments and unbounded polyphonic imagination.

This is the motivation behind my own work and these Twelve Duos for Trumpets: to make the essence of our ethnographic music accessible through Komitas.

These Twelve Duos are appropriate for advanced performers and are written for C Trumpets, B-flat Trumpets, Cornets, B-flat Piccolo Trumpets, and Flugelhorns.
