Biography
About
Born Harutyun Sayatyan on 14 June 1712, he took the pen name Sayat-Nova and became a poet and musician working across Armenian, Georgian, Azerbaijani, and Persian. He composed in the ashugh tradition—part troubadour, part court entertainer—moving through the cultures of the Caucasus and beyond. His work carried across linguistic borders in an era when a single artist could hold several traditions at once. He died on 22 September 1795, leaving behind a body of song that refused to belong to only one people.
