Abstract
Jani Christou (1926–1970) was among the most exciting and provocative figures of the twentieth-century musical avant-garde, introducing a body of work of rigorous consistency that integrates philosophical aspects and notions. His contribution to the sonic world goes beyond the strictly musical innovations in terms of technique and style. This article explores the intellectual notions that this great thinker embodied functionally in his compositions, offering a broader inspiration that relates to human expressive needs. Having been educated under philosophers rather than musicians, Christou manifested a unique attitude towards art which interconnects music, contemplation and one’s way of living.
