This musical version of the Badarak was first published in Etchmiadzin in 1985, with a completely Armenian text. This (1999) is the first publication of the Khorenian Badarak outside of Armenia and is the first version to contain an English transliteration to the text. It also contains selections of new music composed by Maestron Khoren, in addition to the Badarak. The Central Council of the AACCA has been working with Maestro Khoren Meikhanedjian for the past three years on this project. We are now at the end of this publication project and wish to share our celebration of joy on its completion with you.
