Mikis Theodorakis (b.29 July 1925) is one of the most important contemporary Greek composers.
... Bearing Gifts
"... he composed much concert music, including seven symphonies, four operas, ballets (including Antigone, 1959), and more than 1,000 songs. He is esteemed in his homeland as a national hero. -- Wikipedia
When Theodorakis
Wrote Zorba the Greek,
Did he know that his career
Was at some kind of peak?
You can work many years
In the musical galleys,
But you don’t have control
Of your peaks or your valleys.
