History of Music in Modern Greece, Volume I
History of Music in Modern Greece, Volume I
The three-volume collective History of Music in Modern Greece aims at a comprehensive presentation of the continuous tradition of modern Greek musical life and production from the Alosis to the present day, utilizing the latest musicological research as well as the wealth of archival sources. The result is revealing, if not surprising, for the reader, who until now had in mind considerations that located the beginnings of the history of art music in our country at the beginning of the 20th century, to discover that the narrative of the publication begins five centuries earlier. We hope that this three-volume work, which meets the requirements of modern science, will be a short-term and medium-term reference work for researchers, and a model for any similar initiative attempted in the future.
