Armenia is in the Caucasus Mountains, and its music is a mix of indigenous folk music, perhaps best-represented by Djivan Gasparyan's well-known duduk music, as well as light pop, and extensive Christian music, due to Armenia's status as one of the oldest Christian nations in the world.

 Music and the Art of the Book, Arts of Armenia (c) Dr. Dickran Kouymjian , Armenian Studies Program at Cal State ...
Armenian music is ancient in origin and continuous in development as seen from pre-Christian mural paintings, archaeological finds, the earliest historical chronicles, mediaeval miniatures, and the songs themselves, some of which have transmitted elements from pagan civilization.
Music was adapted to a wide range of uses: work, lyricism, epic-historic-heroic, morality and character, etc. The hymns dedicated to work and the pastoral life that have been preserved are of high quality, including improvised horovels, songs dedicated to nature, hayerens and antunis, mediaeval compositions sung by the troubadours.
Musical instruments held a very special place in the customs of the Armenian nation during the Middle Ages, as the historians and poets of this period relate in their numerous reports.

 FFWD Weekly - May 17, 2001
As a descriptive category, "world music" may have serious drawbacks, but these are part of its general appeal.
In cultures where music is more firmly woven into daily life, they are more like aural documentaries, and what they document is not tradition but practice.
The music itself lacks the intense, otherworldly beauty of the polyphony of the neighbouring Solomon Islands, or the fluttering quality one finds in other rainforest cultures, of light flickering through the tree canopy or of the sudden burst of wings as a startled bird takes flight.

The songs you hear sung in a chromatic way-these are they in which the mysteries of our salvation were long ago foretold with fearless mouths by the twice-six sibyls.

Franz Waxman, of course, enjoyed considerable success as a composer of music other than for the screen and it must be remembered that he, himself, had experienced Nazi brutality in 1934 and had fled Germany after he had been beaten up on the streets of Berlin.
The music for the famous scene where Gromek is killed at the farmhouse is particularly chilling and this performance is every bit as compelling as the recent more complete Varèse Sarabande recording.
The music is often poignant and its child-like innocence clearly echoes the screenplay.

The sparse dialogues of the three travellers reflect their loneliness — the sons’ tone of longing for fatherly love, the father’s stern voice of suppressed affection.
Andrey Dergatchev, soundtrack creator, was born in 1969 in Astrakhan, Russia, and has worked variously as a dancer, light and sound designer, musician and actor as well as composer of music for film, video and ballet.
