Extra Information | The heroic song, based on Khachatur Abovian’s novel Wounds of Armenia, with lyrics by Ioannes Ioannisyan; for tenor (see below, Comments) |
There is some lack of clarity over who wrote the text. Spendiarov is credited in some sources, and apparently Ioannisyan in others. It is possible that Spendiarov adapted words by Ioannisyan, but in any case, both are in the public domain, so there is no issue there.
