Inspired by your detailed request for a 2:30-minute composition anchored in A Phrygian mode with authentic Armenian instruments, this piece embodies the spirit and textures of traditional music through the duduk’s expressive microtones, kanun’s harmonic richness, and the dhol’s driving groove. The arrangement and modal choices directly reflect your emphasis on modal ornamentation and rhythmic interplay.
