Greece laments leading composer, 84
RIPThe death has been announced in Athens of the composer Yannis Markopoulos, a national figure whose works gained wider renown during his political exile in London in the late 1960s. His most-heard score was probably the soundtrack he wrote for the 1977 BBC television series ‘Who Pays the Ferryman?’
The President of Greece, Katerina Sakellaropoulou said: ‘It is with emotion that I say goodbye to a composer who sought inspiration from the multitude of our music and transformed her ethos into a modern, interesting, multidimensional, completely personal idiom.’
