About

Greek classical composer (b. 1904, d. 1949). The earliest remaining works of his date from 1922-24 and are piano compositions as well as the orchestration of "Cretan Feast" by Dimitri Mitropoulos. He wrote symphonic works (Greek Dances, the symphonic overture Return of Ulysses, the fairy drama Mayday Spell, the second symphonic suite, the ballet The Maiden and Death, the Classical Symphony for winds, a Sinfonietta and several concertos), chamber music works, as well as vocal works. Although he came to know Schönberg's dodecaphonic system, Skalkottas shaped his own dodecaphonic idioms.
