Apparently The Apricot Tree is a traditional song, and also the title of this album. Really, just beautiful stuff though. See, I was unsure about this.

Djivan Gasparyan played the dudek on The Passion soundtrack (and he also has a track called Apricot Tree on his Moon Shines at Night album). The beautiful and haunting instrument is the duduk.

See, teh internetz are spread so far and wide that I <i>knew</i> someone would be out there who'd really appreciate this for personal reasons like that. Of course, everyone else is probably just shaking their heads in disbelief, I guess. But it is rather mysterious, grand and terrifying. Is that a fact?

Dark music from a place with a dark, dark (recent) history. It bears a pretty strong resemblance to some of the best bits from Peter Gabriel's "Passion." One of my oldest and dearest friends is Armenian (well, Armenian-American, I guess), and he's gonna go apeshit when he hears this. That’s really lovely.
