Dimitris Dragatakis (1914-2001) was one of the most important modern Greek composers, having written over 140 compositions for virtually every instrument. His musical output was influenced by Greek traditional music (especially music from Epirus, where he grew up) and theatre, music trends of the 60s and 70s, and his own perceptions about music and art.
