Abstract

"In the research presented, the influence of Armenian folk music on Tigran Hamasyan’s musical output is discussed. Acknowledgement of Armenian influences is crucial to one’s understanding of Hamasyan's unique style, which blends folk with jazz, metal, Indian classical music and electronic music. Research on authentic Armenian music yielded into a vast collection of musical material united by similar modal, rhythmic and melodic thinking. Comparative analysis of folk music and Hamasyan's works demonstrates how Armenian folklore has impacted the composer's musical language, resulting in Armenian sound being deeply integrated in his music."
