Two Centuries of Greek Scholar Music

The history of scholar music in Greece barely extends more than two centuries, given that, due to the Ottoman rule, Hellenism was not able to follow the developments in the art of music, as it was experienced by other European peoples. Its appearance in the Heptanese just before the dawn of the 19th century marked the beginning of a creative period charged with the agony of catching up.

... In the relatively short time that has passed since then, not only the lost ground and time were recovered, but the Greek musical culture reached the peaks of the vanguard too, considering the great contribution of Nikos Skalkotas (1904-1949), Iannis Xenakis (1922 -2001) and Giannis Christou (1926-1970).
From the very beginning until today, the journey of Greek scholar music, which has not been free from problems and intrusive behaviors, can be divided into three periods: the great and very... Greek (despite the obvious influences from neighboring Italy) Heptanesian period, which began shortly before the Greek Revolution of 1821 and lasted until the beginning of the 20th century (the pioneer was Nikolaos Chalikiopoulos Mantzaros [1795-1872], while the dominant figure was Spyridon Samaras [1861-1917]), the period of the National Music School, which was based on Byzantine music and dimotiko (folk) music and gave its first fruits in the first years of the 20th century (led by Manolis Kalomoiris [1883- 1962], accompanied by, among others, Dionysios Lavragkas [1860-1941], Marios Varvoglis [1885-1967] and Aimilios Riadis [1885-1935]), and the vanguard period, which appeared rather awkwardly during the decade 1930-1940 with the invaluable creations of Nikos Skalkotas and reached its full potential in the second half of the 20th century.
