Inch Gonim Hekimen is an Armenian song composed by the gifted 18th century poet and musician Harutyun Sayatyan, known as Sayat-Nova (1712-1795). He was a court musician in the ancient kingdom of Georgia and later became a traveling troubadour (ashugh or kousan), singing and playing the 3-stringed kamancha.
In this setting, the energetic beginning should be played freely. In Middle Eastern music, a taqsim, or taksim, is a solo improvised introduction often with a background instrument playing a repeated low tone or drone. Here, a drone in the L.H. establishes the key of E minor with octave tremolo. The piano accompaniment settles into a 6/8 rhythm.

She has played guitar/keyboard in Armenian folk ensembles and organ in Armenian churches in New York and Pennsylvania.
