This is a list of compositions by Garbis Aprikian. He said in an interview that in his compositions, he took melody mostly from Armenian music, but fused it with Western classical music's harmonies when he arranged themes from Armenian folk music,[1][2] calling it a "'noble' transcription of tradition".[1]
