Demetrios Lialios

Demetrios Lialios (1869–1940) was a Greek composer. He studied at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater München under Ludwig Thuille. He was possibly the first modern Greek composer to write chamber music. His Requiem in B minor, titled Missa pro Defunctis is perhaps the first large-scale modern Greek choral work. He also composed works in various languages and Greek Orthodox liturgies.[1]
