Since Komitas is also an important protagonist for the oral tradition of Armenian church music, I think it is justified to post this call within this forum.

May I also suggest a sub-forum called "Αρμενικά" within the forum "Ψαλτική σε άλλες γλώσσες"?

Komitas' works have various aspects, since he was a composer (Tbilisi, Berlin), ethnomusicologist, but also Hieromonachos (Vardapet) and Archimandrite. This podcast has a lot of interesting links (also to a virtual exhibition dedicated to him).

The biography and intellectual legacy of Komitas Vardapet, an orphan from Kütahya who became one of the foremost Armenian intellectuals of his day, is firmly embedded within Armenian national lore. Yet, seldom has it been told as an Ottoman story. This mixtape presents the life and works of Komitas through some of the earliest recordings of Armenian music, including his own performances.

This site includes two radio features about Komitas Vardapet's life within the context of Ottoman history and the genocide, links to the official site of the Komitas Museum in Yerevan which has also an audio archive, and historical recordings of Komitas as a musician or his fieldwork published at youtube.
