This list comprises movie, television, videogame and anime soundtracks inspired by Armenian music and instruments (as the Duduk)
The Armenian origin of the Duduk
The roots of Armenian duduk music go back to the times of the Armenian king Tigran the Great (95-55 BC). It accompanies popular Armenian traditional songs and dances of the various regions and is played at events, such as weddings and funerals. Although there are also famous duduk soloists, among them Gevorg Dabaghyan and Vache Sharafyan, the duduk is usually played by two musicians. One player creates the musical environment for the lead melody by playing a continual drone held by circular breathing, while the other player develops complex melodies and improvisations. There are four major types of duduk, varying in length from 28 to 40 cm. This variety allows the sound of the duduk to express various moods depending on the content of the piece and the playing context. The duduk is the Armenian oboe, a double-reed wind instrument. [1][2] Since the 1990's, this instrument has been widely used in western movies and tv shows, by instrumentalists such as Djivan Gasparyan, Levon Minassian, Chris Bleth or Pedro Eustache.
