Gonchigiin Birvaa (Mongolian: Гончигийн Бирваа; 1916 - 2006) was a Mongolian composer.[1] Described as a "prominent composer", he was said to have composed based on the memoirs of Professor P. Khorloo.[2] His best known work is perhaps the ballet Khoshuu Naadam and the musical Queen's Black Destiny, based on a Mongolian legend, which he composed and was written after his death by Damdin Törbat in 1983.[3][4] He was also an author or co-author of the books Khödöö Tiish (1966), Manai duu - manai tüükh (1982),[5] and Zandan shoo (1985). His son is Birvaagiin Mönkhbold.
