Duduk from Chamsin by Yochanan Sebastian Winston
Duduk - The piece opens with the duduk, an ancient instrument from Armenia. The instrument has roots going back several thousand years and although it is distinctly Armenian, it is evocative of the Middle East. The instrument is often used in film, usually to elicit an image of the Middle East desert, as in Syriana and Munich
