Contents Summary

The "Grandmother of Erivan" sings the wedding songs of her youth, which used to be sung by women when the bride was brought to her new home, accompanied by the dûl (drum) and zurna (wind instrument). The memory was brought back by her relatives' account of a post-wedding ritual they had just visited.
