Mikis Theodorakis (1925-2021)
Mikis Theodorakis, a famous film musician died yesterday at the age of 96. As the national musician of Greece, the current Greek prime-minister has announced a three-day mourning period with the country’s flag being lowered to half-staff at the Acropolis.
Worldwide and elsewhere, his Zorba the Greek theme has been one of the most covered music pieces of all time; an example of which by Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass hit #11 on the Hot 100/#2 AC in 1965. Here’s some sample of his works
From 1969: “Z” Original Soundtrack Recording – Main Title
