Testimonials
"Dan, your evocative, dramatic and emotional music deeply touches me. Not only due to its sheer beauty, but because it shines a light on one of history’s greatest atrocities.
Congratulations on composing An Armenian Trilogy. It’s a remarkable achievement!"
"We go back a long way as friends and colleagues. ‘An Armenian Trilogy’ is sure to affect us all with the heart and soul you’ve always put into your work. Proud of you for creating something that will inspire us… as you’ve done throughout your terrific career. Very best on this great project."
"Like Dvorak, who passionately longed for his homeland with his New World Symphony, Mr. Yessian longed for his land of origin in his own unique fashion. His Armenian Trilogy is a hybrid of the tonality of his beloved Armenia, mixed ever so gently with the harmonies of his America.
…and the rhythmic trajectory of everything.
I hope that Detroit will find a way to program the work."
