Four years later he made the encounter that would change his life, with the Armenian philosopher and mystic George Gurdjieff (1877-1949). Gurdjieff had his own musical training, as well as a sharp ear and retentive memory for the folk melodies which he heard on his long travels through central Asia and the middle East. De Hartmann and his wife joined Gurdjieff’s circle of followers, and the two men began to write music to accompany their spiritual exercises. This body of music eventually amounted to around 300 short pieces, of which the indefatigable Jeroen van Veen has recorded the entire published corpus of 170 divided into four volumes. During lockdown he found himself with the time to immerse himself in this music, which ranges across Asian, Arabic and European systems of rhythm, harmony and tuning, so that he could capture its perfumed mysticism and improvisational character Tracklist: Vol. I, Asian Songs and Rhythms, 1st Series: 0:00 Greek Melody 2:38 Greek Round Dance 4:01 Greek Song 6:41 Kurd Melody for 2 Flutes 7:42 Oriental Song 9:03 Persian Song 13:33 Atarnakh, Kurd Song 16:22 Tibetan Melody 18:10 Marche alerte 19:53 Lento, quasi recitativo 23:00 Andante con moto 27:34 15 XII 28:18 Duduki 30:39 13 X 32:34 Armenian Melody 34:17 Song of the Molokans 35:51 Kurd Shepherd Melody Vol. I, Asian Songs and Rhythms, 2nd Series: 39:43 Song of the Aïsors 44:17 Kurd Shepherd’s Dance 45:14 Song of the Fisherwomen 47:07 Allegretto 47:59 29 XII 50:30 Mamasha 51:25 Persian Dance 52:17 Song of Ancient Rome 53:06 07 XII 54:35 Armenian Song 57:21 Poco Marciale 58:21 Ancient Greek Melody 1:00:55 Long Ago in Mikhaïlov 1:04:06 Oriental Melody 1:06:32 Assyrian Women Mourners Vol. I, Asian Songs and Rhythms, 3th Series: 1:09:19 Kurd Melody from Isfahan 1:12:03 Hindu Melody 1:14:14 22 X 1:15:12 Armenian Song 1:16:20 Greek Melody 1:18:57 Afghan Melody 1:20:31 Moderato 1:23:05 1:25:32 Kurd Melody 1:27:02 Ancient Greek Melody 1:28:23 Ancient Greek Dance 1:29:53 Greek Song 1:32:13 Arabian Dance 1:34:06 Greek Melody 1:35:26 8 XI 1:36:35 Tibetan Masques No. 1 1:37:45 Tibetan Masques No. 2 Vol. II, Music of the Sayyids and the Dervishes, 1st Series: 1:40:01 Sayyid Chant and Dance 1:43:34 For Professor Skridlov 1:45:49 Sayyid Chant and Dance 1:50:29 10 IX 1:52:54 Dervish Dance 1:54:02 Persian Dervish 1:55:33 Dervish Chant and Dance 1:57:48 Sayyid Chant and Dance in A Minor 2:00:09 Sayyid Chant and Dance in D Minor 2:03:44 Sayyid Chant and Dance in G Minor 2:07:59 13 X 2:09:35 Sayyid Chant and Dance in D Minor 2:15:55 29 IX 2:18:32 Dervish Dance 2:19:28 Sayyid Chant 2:22:49 The complete tracklist can be found in the pinned comment! 👉 Social media links: Instagram: Facebook: TikTok: Spotify Playlists: Brilliant Classics Spotify: New Classical Releases: The Best of Liszt: The Best of Bach: Most Popular Piano Music: Beautiful Classical Music: Classical Music For Dinnertime: Thank you for watching this video by Brilliant Classics, we hope you enjoyed it!
