This book discusses the relationship between Greek Orthodox
ecclesiastical music and laiko (popular) song in Greece. Laiko
music was long considered a lesser form of music in Greece, with
rural folk music considered serious enough to carry the weight of
the ideologies founded within the establishment of the contemporary
Greek state. During the 1940s and 1950s, a selective exoneration of
urban popular music took place, one of its most popular cases being
the originating relationships between two extremely popular musical
pieces: Vasilis Tsitsanis’s “Synnefiasmeni Kyriaki” (Cloudy
Sunday) and its descent from the hymn “Ti Ypermacho” (The
Akathist Hymn). During this period the connection of these two
pieces was forged in the Modern Greek conscience, led by certain
key figures in the authority system of the scholarly world. Through
analysis of these pieces and the surrounding contexts, Ordoulidis
explores the changing role and perception of popular music in
Greece.
