The 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide, an internationally acknowledged tragedy in which more than one and a half million Armenians died, was commemorated in 2015. To mark the anniversary, Canadian composer Petros Shoujounian wrote the four string quartets presented by the Quatuor Molinari on this album, all based on Armenian liturgical chants with each movement named after a river in Armenia. The symbolism is intentional: water is essential to life and rivers are the veins of a country, just as faith nourishes and sustains the existence of creative and forward-looking people.
