Abstract: In this project, I adapted a song traditionally played on the Armenian duduk for the English horn. Using Walter Benjamin’s “The Task of the Translator” as a guide, the piece “Knir Im Balik” was transcribed. Performances of the piece by Vatche Hovsepian and Gevorg Dabaghyan are used as models. Included is an illustration of how learning about the duduk and its role in Armenia informed the transcription. Also shown is the decision-making process while transcribing and notating both the original recordings and the English horn version.
