Album Notes

Hover Chamber Choir of Armenia- Six Fables: based on the writings of Vardan Aigektsi.

*** 2004 Armenian Music Awards WINNER- Best Choir/Chorus Album ("Six Fables- based on the writings of Vardan Aigektsi")

*** 2006 Just Plain Folks Awards WINNER- Best Classical Voice/Choir Album

"Six Fables" is the rousing follow-up CD to the 2002 debut recording of the award winning Hover Chamber Choir of Armenia. Based on the fables of the Armenian Renaissance fabulist and monk Vardan Aigektsi (1170-1235), the music to Six Fables was written by contemporary Armenian composer Stepan Babatorosyan.

The style of music is a sophisticated blend of neo-classical and Armenian folk creating an exotic and exciting sound which is conveyed by Armenia's most recognizable choir.
