Hovhaness, Alan. (1911-2000). Signed Photograph with Autograph Musical Quotation, "Armenian Rhapsody." . A superb halftone photograph on the cover of a pamphlet, signed and dated 1944 with a four-measure AMQS by the prolific American composer of Armenian descent. Boldly penned in black felt tip ink and in very good condition. 3.75 X 8.75 inches.

"Although he has been stereotyped as a self-consciously Armenian composer (rather as Ernest Bloch is seen as a Jewish composer), his output assimilates the music of many cultures. What may be most American about all of it is the way it turns its materials into a kind of exoticism. The atmosphere is hushed, reverential, mystical, nostalgic." (Richard Buell, Boston Globe)
