On April 24 (2009), a musical concert was performed in Monot, at Church St. Joseph, to commemorate and honor the Armenian Genocide, and its 1,500,000 victims.
The concert was performed by the “Lebanese National Symphony Orchestra”, and directed by Harout Fazlian.
The program included some of W. A. Mozart’s pieces of music, and some of P. Tchaikovsky’s music pieces.
Mozart’s “Requiem Mass” was played first, and it includes:
1- Requiem
2- Kyrie
3- Dies Irae
4- Confutatis
5- Lacrimosa
6- Lux Aeterana
The Requiem Mass in D minor (mass for the Dead) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was composed in 1791. The Requiem was Mozart’s last composition, and is one of his most popular and most respected works.
On the other hand, Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No.6 in b minor “Pathétique” was played later, and it includes:
I. Adagio – Allegro – Andante
II. Allegro
III. Allegro vivace
IV. Adagio lamentoso
Tchaikovsky said about his Symphony, “The Symphony was the best, and certainly the most open-hearted, of all my works,” this is what he wrote to his nephew in August 1893.
This was a great concert done to commemorate The “Armenian Genocide,” which will never, never, never be forgotten.
