  • Defining Interdisciplinarity and Indentifying Research Directions in Jani Christou’S Strychnine Lady
    DOI: 10.15503/jecs20141-226-241 Expression Defining interdisciplinarity and indentifying Research directions in Jani Christou’s Strychnine lady Maria Yerosimou, PhD Faculty of Music Goldsmiths University of London, Lewisham Way, New Cross, London, UK E mail address: [email protected] Abstract Jani Christou was a major Greek composer, whose unusual, yet promising career was brought to an end after his untimely death in 1970 at the age of 44. His challenging and speculative output has intrigued generation of young music scholars; however, J. Christo- u’s work remains imperfectly and only patchily known and understood, especially outside Greece. This is partly because of the interdisciplinary nature of his late works which redu- ces the possibility of potential researchers who will academically establish J. Christou’s distinguished output. The aim of the present paper is to present and analyse parts of Strych- nine Lady, a work composed in 1967 in order to propose research directions in an effort to conÞ rm J. Christou’s posthumous reputation. Key words: Experimental music theatre, avant garde music, contemporary music, 20th century music, Greek avant garde composer Introduction On the 8th January 1970 an unusual and thrilling talent was lost in a car acci- dent: the composer Jani Christou. J. Christou was a major composer and philo- sopher, whose unusual, yet promising career was brought to an end after his untimely death at the age of 44. In his late works particularly J. Christou brought into conjunction his deep immersion in philosophical and psychological studies, including the ideas of Carl Jung and alchemy, with avant-garde musical and dra- matic materials and means.

Terry, Professor of Organ & Harpsichord School of Music Maestro Peter Erős led a 54-year career of international distinction as a conductor of symphony orchestras, opera, and ballet. He conducted over one hundred different ensembles in twenty-four countries, spanning six continents, held five professional music directorships, and taught at three conservatories of music. A protégé of legendary conductors George Szell, Ferenc Fricsay, and Otto Klemperer, Peter Erős represents an important link to the Central European tradition of classical music performance. Having joined the faculty of the Amsterdam Conservatory at the age of twenty-seven, and served as Director of Orchestral Activities at the Peabody Conservatory in the early 1980s, Erős dedicated the latter years of his career to teaching conducting and directing the orchestral and operatic activities at the University of Washington School of Music, where he taught dozens of student conductors, orchestral musicians, and opera singers. This dissertation examines Peter Erős’ musical life, training,
