Kurdish melodies

"Kurdish melodies" (Armenian: Քրդական եղանակներ, romanized: K'rdakan yeghanakner, lit. 'Kurdish melodies', Kurdish: Awazên Kurdî) is a collection of Kurdish folk songs collected and transcribed by Armenian composer Komitas during field work among Kurds and published in December 1903. Despite collecting a large amount of Kurdish melodies, most of them were lost, and Kurdish melodies became the only publication of Kurdish songs by Komitas. Kurdish melodies would consequently become the first publication of Kurdish music.
