Somerville, Mass., as Alan Vaness Chakmakjian. Hovhaness was of Armenian and Scottish descent, and many of his works are based on Armenian culture or show influences from Middle Eastern, Asian, or early European music.

Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Hovhaness, Alan, Hovhaness also spelled HOVANESS (b. March 8, 1911, Somerville, Mass., U.S.), U.S. composer of Armenian and Scottish descent, notable for his eclectic choice of material from non-European traditions. Hovhaness studied piano and composition at the New England Conservatory and later with the noted Czech composer Bohuslav Martin u at Tanglewood, Mass. He taught at the Boston Conservatory (1948-51) and travelled and composed extensively. At age 30 he became interested in Armenian music, an interest that later broadened to include music of the Middle and Far East. He toured Europe and Asia in the early 1960s as conductor and pianist and in India studied with native musicians.

His style is often modal and rhythmically intricate, but lyrically expressive, with a de-emphasis on harmony. His Percussion Sextet for timpani, two drums, tamtam, marimba, and glockenspiel shows his use of unusual instrumental groupings, as does his
