Piano Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1421877 Composed by Armenian Folk. Arranged by Constance Shelengian. Folk,Multicultural,Traditional,World. Score. 2 pages. Constance Shelengian #1003208. Published by Constance Shelengian (A0.1421877). An Armenian song and dance in 5/4 meter, Gorani originated in Daron in western Armenia, now Anatolia. Â The lyrics have been variously interpreted as a love song, or as sentiments for a disappointing harvest, or more profoundly, as a lament for a lost homeland or adored one.Gorani is in the key of E minor. The haunting R.H. melody is often harmonized in thirds and sixths, but also serves as an accompaniment with an open octave when the L.H. is given the melody. The R.H. reinforces the quintuple meter with a beat grouping of 1-2 1-2-3. The melody is augmented at the end.Constance Shelengian studied piano with Maro Ajemian. She has a Doctor of Musical Arts Degree and is a retired music educator.
