Armenian Genocide commemoration music

Armenian Genocide commemoration music refers to compositions created to honor the memory of the approximately 1.5 million Armenians who were systematically killed during World War I by the Ottoman Empire. This music often blends elements of traditional Armenian folk melodies with contemporary styles, conveying themes of loss, resilience, and remembrance. It plays a vital role in cultural preservation and collective identity, particularly during events commemorating the genocide, such as April 24, known as Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. By expressing sorrow and strength, this music fosters awareness and encourages reflection on historical injustices.
