Description
Instrumental duo based on my setting of Vahan Teryan's poem Street Song (as translated by James Russell).
The sound sample is an electronic preview.
The pdf file contains score and parts. (The Guitar part has the lowest string tuned down to D)
The English translation is:
The sad song sung by a wandering singer
Sounds beneath my window
How many times have I heard it before?
So it seems
as though I had woven that song
You would think
it was I who cried in that song.
You would think
I was singing that song
out of longing for you.
My performance of the original song (also available on this site) can be heard here:
