          6. THE PERIOD OF MATURITY

          In September 1899 Komitas returned to Echmiadzin and started his musical activity right away. He came back to the motherland with the thirst of devoting himself to the art of his people and striving to be useful to it.

          In these years the composer’s esthetic views and his style ultimately developed. For a short period he radically changed the system of teaching music in the seminary, organized a small orchestra and perfected the performance level of the choir.

          By his arrival the composer seemed to manifest a new charge to the monotonous musical life of Echmiadzin.
          He visited various regions of Armenia treating and putting down thousands of Armenian, Kurdish, Persian and Turkish songs.
          He started serious scientific research work, studied Armenian folk and church melodies and worked on the decipherment of Armenian khazzes and on the theory of voices.

          In various countries of the world Komitas appeared as a performer and propagandist of Armenian music.
