A Fable is the fourth album by Tigran Hamasyan released in February 2011.[4] [5] [6] [7] Tigran uses traditional Armenian hymns, Armenian poetry and Armenian folk music as the basis for the tracks on the album.[8] [2] [9] The album also draws influences from Jazz, Rock and Pop.[3] Tigran in an interview said that he chose the name of the album "... because each composition tells a story ... [and] people can relate to fables because they are both simple, yet deep."[6] [9] He only used his first name on this album's release, but has used his full name in subsequent albums.[10]
