Description
Manolis Kalomiris is today considered the father of modern Greek composition. His brilliantly orchestrated 'Triptych' was written following the death of one of his heroes, the great statesman Eleftherios Venizelos, and is an elegy to the ex-prime minister and a celebration of the liberation of Crete, the island of his birth. 'Symphony No. 3' sets excerpts of Palamas's poems to music, and is one of the great landmarks of modern Greek music. Kalomiris wrote of the work, \I set the 'Palamian Symphony' as an altar, a monument of my faith to the ever-lasting Greek Art and the Poet who symbolizes it.""
