Horovel-  is a plowing song - a true masterpiece arranged by the great Komitas. He first heard it in the village of Vardablur, in the Lori region, sung by a humble shepherd. Komitas asked the man to sing it again so he could record the melody, but the shepherd refused - even when the village headman asked him to.The next morning, as the shepherd began to plow with his ox, he started to sing. Komitas quickly wrote down the notes and asked why he had refused the night before. The shepherd smiled and said, “My ox was tired after a long day. If I had sung then, he would have thought it was morning again - and time to work!” Horovel performance symbolizes with the proud and unbreakable spirit of Artsakh!
