The Bob Cole Conservatory Chamber Choir under the direction of Dr. Jonathan Talberg performs Vasken Ohanian's "Song of the Knight", set to poetry by Siamanto, in remembrance of the 100 year anniversary since the beginning of the Armenian Genocide. Song of the Knight (ԱՍՊԵՏԻՆ ԵՐՔԸ)- Siamanto Verses 32-36 (English Translation) O raise your brow, lift up your eyes, so that I may cover them with my hands, Halt not! It is the Crimson, it is the Crimson, the Crimson of frightful blood. I have pulled my quivering cloak over my head... Halt not! What good would it do for our useless sighs of grief? My lyre cried with the blood of the times, accompanying my pains, From this moment on, I loath weeping; Only you are my spirit. You are glorious and bellicose, I am your prince and slave. It was "your" figure that was worshipped by glorious Greece... The song of the wind is a horn that calls from afar, The forest stood ready like legions of war. Under your furious hooves, old hopes like giants awake... The old laws are shattered, the old tears fall, the old sounds die... In your brilliant flight from atop high plateau We will see new revolutionaries, new giants, new heroes, The sons of suffereing, who inimically in this age Were born in blood, were wroth with blood, and wish to die in blood. And when we see the hurricane of stormy legions, It is with them that we will march on the path to the Cause... And of glory will I sing and the crowning of warriors, For my trumpet will sound, and my torches will be ablaze.
