This is a sequence of the 3rd movement of Khachaturian's 2nd
Symphony, written in 1944. The main theme is that of an Azerbayjani
funeral march, employed in honor of those who died fighting
the Nazi invasion. Khachaturian, as several composers before him,
employs the "Dies Irae", from the Latin mass for the dead, as
one of the central themes.

   I have used a Proteus 2 sound module, backed up by a Korg
O3R/W sound module (tracks using the Korg begin with a "K").

   All tracks have been transposed to concert pitch.

   Note, to minimize the number of channels employed I have
had the timpani track share a channel with a cellos/basses
track. The "extra" cellos/basses track proved necessary due
to half these sections at various times playing pizzicato
while the other half played arco (bowed). For those unable
to read the notes within the tracks the cellos/basses
track contains bowed noted for the following bars (with
the appropriate program changes)- arco cellos: 64-75 and
80-82; arco basses: 151-164.
