Yakhiel (Yakub) Rafaelovich Sabzanov (Tajik: Якуб Рафаэлович Сабзанов; Russian: Яхиэль (Якуб) Рафаэлович Сабзанов) (February 20, 1929 – September 10, 2013) was a Soviet Bukharian composer of Bukharan Jewish descent.

Life

[edit]
Yakhiel Sabzanov (1962)

Yakhiel Sabzanov, a Bukharian Jew, was born in Dushanbe, and discovered his passion for music as a young boy in the early 1940's. His first teacher named Nasimjon Pulatov taught him how to play a folk instrument called gidzhak. As Sabzanov became more proficient in gidzhak, he started taking lessons in another folk instrument called tunbura, which is an ancient folk string instrument. His teacher was legendary Shashmakom expert Neryo Aminov, who was a singer and musician. In addition to those instruments, Sabzanov learned how to play a third stringed instrument called Rubabe from the Peoples Artist of Tajikistan Avner Mullokandov. In 1943, Sabzanov entered the music school located in S. Ayni Theater of Opera and Ballet taught by Nadezhda Andreyevna Budkevich, an Honored worker of Arts in Tajikistan. Sabzanov continued to study Gidzhak in Music School and learned under R. Shakhmurov. There he acquired the foundation of performance on a gidzhak. With the help of R. Shakhmurov the young student became a part of Tajik folk instrument orchestra.[1]

In 1946, after successfully graduating from the music school, Sabzanov was transferred to a music college, specializing in gidjak and stringed instruments. His teachers included cellist Samuil Markovich Frenkel and a violinist Semyon Solomonovich Muravin. Simultaneously he studied composition under the direction of Alexander Stepanovich Lenskiy.[1]

After completing a four-year music college program in just three years with honors, Sabzanov felt compelled to further his musical education. Following a letter from the Ministry of Culture of Tajikistan and successfully passing all exams, he gained admission to the Tashkent Conservatory class of 1955. Graduating with honors as an aspiring composer, Sabzanov's achievements continued to grow. In 1956, at the second convention of Tajikistan composers, he was accepted into the Association of Composers of the USSR and appointed as an administrative officer and secretary of the Association of Composers of Tajikistan.

In 1956, Sabzanov married the granddaughter of a former manufacturer from Kokand, Sara Babayevna Pinkhasova.[1][2]

Sabzanov became one of the most distinguished and respected Tajik composers of the 20th century.
