He collected and organized thousands of folk tunes and established a national polyphonic style of composition based on traditional Armenian folk music. His work encompassed both sacred liturgical settings and secular songs, and his scholarship and arrangements preserved a vast corpus of Armenian musical heritage. Komitas's influence on Armenian musical identity remains central to the study and performance of the nationâs folk and church repertoire.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis compilation presents rare French recordings made in 1912 by Komitas himself performing his arrangements of both secular and religious songs. The tracks were remastered and reissued by Traditional Crossroads as CD 4275, bringing historic acoustic performances to modern listeners. The reissue edition credits include production and restoration work to preserve the original performances while improving fidelity for contemporary release. Recorded in Paris, 1912 and issued in 1995, this release highlights Komitas's role as performer and arranger of Armenian traditional music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in Paris, 1912.\u003cbr\u003eTraditional Crossroads CD 4275.\u003cbr\u003eProduced by Ruben Tonikian for Octa Records, Yerevan, Armenia.\u003cbr\u003eReissued edition produced by Harold G.
