This dissertation will serve as a unifying element in bringing the Armenians in the diaspora and in the homeland together through the power of music. The information collected for each piece includes instrumentation, duration, publisher information, and other details. This research will be beneficial for music students, conductors, orchestra managers, festival organizers, cultural event planning and those studying the influences of Armenian folk music in orchestral writing. It is especially intended to be useful in searching for music by Armenian composers for thematic and cultural programing, as it should aid in the acquisition of parts from publishers. In the early part of the 20th century, Armenian people were oppressed by the Ottoman government and a mass genocide against Armenians occurred. Many Armenians fled

  • Daniel Varoujan JANUARY 6, 1844 — APRIL 15, 1915
    Հ.Մ.Ը.Մ.-Ի ԳԼԵՆԴԵԼԻ ԱՐԱՐԱՏ ՄԱՍՆԱՃԻՒՂԻ ՄՇԱԿՈՒԹԱՅԻՆ ԲԱԺԱՆՄՈՒNՔ Homenetmen Glendale Ararat Chapter Cultural Division Get to Know… Volume 2, Issue 4 April 2009 Daniel Varoujan JANUARY 6, 1844 — APRIL 15, 1915 Daniel Varoujan was one of the greatest Armenian poets of the 20th century. At the age of 31, when he was blossoming to become a poet of international stature, he was brutally murdered (see below) by the government of "The Young Turks", like Siamanto, Zohrab and many others, as part of the officially planned and executed Genocide of the whole Armenian nation. Varoujan was born in the Prknig village of Sivas, Turkey. After attending the local school, he was sent in 1896, the year of the Hamidian massacres, to Istanbul, where he attended the Mkhitarian school. He than continued his education at Mourad- Rafaelian school of Venice, and in 1905 entered the university of Ghent in Belgium, where he followed courses in literature, sociology and economics. In 1909 he returned to his village where he taught for three years. After his marriage in 1912, he became the principal of St. Gregory The Illuminator School in Istanbul. In 1914, Daniel Varoujan established the "Mehian" literary group and magazine with Gosdan Zarian, Hagop Oshagan, Aharon and Kegham Parseghian. The purpose of this movement was to start an Armenian Renaissance, to wake the nation up from centuries of slavery and darkness, to reconnect it to its great Pre-Christian past ("Mehian" means temple), and to encourage it to stand up on its own feet and not tolerate any tyranny, whether from its own corrupt leadership or the Turkish government.

    bilig BAHAR 2022/SAYI 101 1-29 XIX. Yüzyılda Osmanlı İmparatorluğunda Ermeni Entelektüeller: Diran Kelekyan Örneği* Yıldız Deveci Bozkuş ** Öz Bu çalışma XIX. yüzyılda Osmanlı modernleşme sürecinde Ermeni entelektüel sınıfının Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda dil, edebiyat, hukuk, iktisat, çeviri vb. birçok alanda Osmanlı Türkçesi ile kaleme aldıkları eserleri genel hatlarıyla değerlendirmeyi öngörmektedir. Bilindiği üzere Tanzimat süreciyle başlayan ve Islahat hareketiyle devam eden süreçte Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda devletin modernleşme alanında ihtiyaç duyduğu alanlarda öncü kadroların yetiştirilmesi konusunda yurtdışına eğitim amaçlı gönderilen öğrencilerin önemli bir etkisi olmuştur. Bu noktada modernleşme konularında yurtdışında eğitim alan farklı etnik gruplar arasında özellikle Ermeni öğrencilerin rolü çok önemlidir. Buradan hareketle çalışma kapsamında ilk etapta yurtdışında eğitim almış Ermeni entelektüellerine ait eserlerin Osmanlı modernleşme sürecindeki etkileri üzerinde durulacaktır. Daha sonra Osmanlı modernleşme sürecinde Ermeni entelektüellerinin genel hatlarıyla hangi alanlarda ön plana çıktığı ve bu alanlarda ürettikleri eserlere değinilecektir. Bu noktada dönemin önde gelen isimlerinden biri olan Diran Kelekyan’ın bu kapsamda entelektüel hayatı, eserleri ve Türk modernleşme sürecine sunduğu katkılar incelenecektir. Anahtar Kelimeler Osmanlı, modernleşme, Ermeni, Diran Kelekyan, entelektüel. * Geliş Tarihi: 23 Aralık 2019 – Kabul Tarihi: 18 Mart 2020 Bu çalışma TÜBİTAK 2219-Yurt Dışı Doktora Sonrası Araştırma Burs Programı
