Soghomon Soghomonian, ordained and commonly known as Komitas, was an Ottoman-Armenian priest, musicologist, composer, arranger, singer, and choirmaster, who is considered the founder of the Armenian national school of music. He is recognized as one of the pioneers of ethnomusicology.

Orphaned at a young age, Komitas was taken to Etchmiadzin, Armenia's religious center, where he received education at the Gevorgian Seminary. Following his ordination as vardapet in 1895, he studied music at the Frederick William University in Berlin. He thereafter "used his Western training to build a national tradition".
