Demetrios Lialios

Demetrios Lialios (Δημήτριος Λιάλιος, Patras, 1869 - 13 March 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.

[1] His oeuvre includes an opera, a requiem, 22 orchestral compositions, 14 chamber music works, and 2 compositions for Greek Orthodox liturgy.

His Requiem in B minor, titled Missa pro Defunctis is perhaps the first large-scale modern Greek choral work.
