"Sabre Dance" is a movement in the final

act of Aram Khachaturian's ballet Gayane

(1942), where the dancers display their

skill with sabres. It is Khachaturian's best

known and most recognizable work world-

wide.

Its middle section is based on an unna-

med Armenian folk song. According to

Tigran Mansurian, it is a synthesis of an

Armenian wedding dance tune from Gy-

umri tied in a saxophone counterpoint

"that seems to come straight from Ameri-

ca."

"Sabre Dance" is considered one of the

signature pieces of 20th-century popular

music. It was popularized by covers by

pop artists, first in the US in 1948 and la-

ter elsewhere. Its use in a wide range in

films and television over the decades ha-

ve significantly contributed to its renown.

"Sabre Dance" has also been used by a

number of figure skaters from at least five

countries in their performances. Tom Hui-

zenga of NPR describes it as "one of the

catchiest, most familiar - perhaps most

maddening - tunes to come out of the

20th century." Critics Peter G. Davis and

Martin Bernheimer have called it "infamo-

us" and "obnoxious." A New York Times

obituary noted that Khachaturian "never

disowned the 'Sabre Dance', but he did

feel, apparently, that it deflected attention

from his other works."
