I will not be sad in this world

  The track, "I Will Not Be Sad In This World", is one of the most beautiful recordings ever made. It is hard not to be sad, however, upon hearing the news of the passing of Djivan Gasparyan.    I will forever be grateful to him for introducing me to the wonderful sounds of the duduk, an Armenian double reed woodwind instrument made of apricot wood. Despite it's single-octave range, Gasparyan was able to coax a wide range of emotion from the duduk.   This mix is a tribute to Djivan's wonderful music. It is by no means comprehensive, it's a collection of excellent tracks that I already had in my library. Most are solo tracks with a few collabs with Michael Brook. And one stunning cover - Maya Beiser performing "Memories" on the cello.   Thanks again, Djivan Gasparyan, for your legacy of great music.     T R A C K L I S T : 00:00    Djivan Gasparyan - I will not be sad in this world 06:10    Djivan Gasparyan & Michael Brook- Immigrant Song  12:17    Djivan Gasparyan - Holy Holy Armenian Orthodox 16:22    Erkan Ogur & Djivan Gasparyan - Fuad 22:41    Maya Beiser - Memories 29:20    Djivan Gasparyan - Nazeli 33:48    Djivan Gasparyan & Michael Brook- Chiarescuroed 36:45    Djivan Gasparyan - Male Folk Dance 42:33    Djivan Gasparyan & Michael Brook - Fallen Star 47:15    Djivan Gasparyan - In Foreign Lands 52:08    Djivan Gasparyan - A Cool Wind is Blowing 55:47    end
