Ghevond Alishan (1820-1901) is one of the brilliant members of the Mkhitarist Congregation, who carried out a giant work in the field of Armenian Studies. Alishan emphasized and reinforced the significance of the cultural, historical treasures of the Armenian nation, as one of the ancient civilization of the world, which afterwards inspired him to assemble, classify and translate into English the cycle of folk and gusan songs entitled as “Armenian Popular Songs”. The comparative analysis of the original folk songs and its English translations has shown that Alishan was a skillful composer, which aimed at transferring the masterpieces of Armenian national culture to English speaking reader by preserving the principles of faithfulness, the spirit, the style and language of popular songs.
