He wrote many symphonies, cantatas, several ballets and operas, plus popular songs including "Zorba the Greek," famous from Herb Alpert's instrumental hit. Born in 1925 on the Greek island of Chios, Theodorakis began writing songs quite early. He formed his own choir and gave his first performance at the age of 17. An active resistance fighter during World War II, he studied at the conservatories in both Athens and Paris (the latter with Olivier Messiaen). Theodorakis wrote several symphonies during the late '50s, but later returned to Greece to apply his musical knowledge to the traditional Greek music he'd grown up with. After several years of film scoring, in 1964 he composed the music for the film adaptation of the Nikos Kazantzakis novel Zorba the Greek. When 1967 brought a fascist government into control of the country, Theodorakis went underground and formed a revolutionary group to combat abuses -- including a ban on playing or even listening to his music. He was later arrested, exiled, and sent to an internment camp, though the work of a global solidarity movement -- led by Leonard Bernstein, Dmitri Shostakovich, Arthur Miller, and Harry Belafonte -- helped secure his release in 1970. Still exiled from his country, Theodorakis served as the greatest ambassador of Greek music during the 1970s, playing thousands of concerts across the world. After the government toppled, he served as a member of the new parliament, also working as general musical director of the symphony orchestra and chorus of the Hellenic Radio and Television. 荣誉记录：苏联列宁和平奖（1983年）。 凤凰社，希腊（1995年）。 法国荣誉军团军官勋章（1996年）。 雅典大学荣誉博士学位（1996年）。 塞萨洛尼基亚里士多德大学荣誉 博士学位（2000年）。 德国“埃里希·科恩戈尔德”奖（2002年）。 塞尔维亚和黑山诺维萨德市荣誉市民（2004年）。 2005 年国际音乐奖，联合国教科文组织 国际音乐理事会（2005 年）。 法国荣誉军团勋章（2007年）。 雅典学院荣誉院士（2013年）。 希腊大十字荣誉勋章（2021年）。 西奥多拉基斯的照片被收录在第 94 届奥斯卡颁奖典礼的“悼念”环节中 卢森堡大公国大官功绩勋章。
