BORN: ΜΑΡΨΗ 21, 1953 IN VOLOS, GREECE WHERE HE RECEIVED HIS EARLY MUSICAL TRAINING, CHRISTOS HATZIS PURSUED HIS STUDIES IN THE UNITED STATES AT THE EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC AND THEN AT THE STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK, BUFFALO, WHERE HE STUDIED WITH JOSEPH SCHWANTNER, LEJAREN HILLER, WLODZIMIERZ KOTONSKI AND MORTON FELDMAN.
AFTER RECEIVING HIS PH.D. IN 1982, HE MOVED TO CANADA AND IN 1985 BECAME A CANADIAN CITIZEN. HIS STYLISTIC PREOCCUPATION HAS SHIFTED FROM THE MICROTONAL TUNINGS OF THE LATE SEVENTIES TO REFERENCES TO OTHER COMPOSERS' MUSIC IN THE EARLY EIGHTIES AND FINALLY TO THE RECENT DEVELOPMENT OF A MUSICAL SYNTAX WHICH IS INDEPENDENT OF THE MATERIAL USED (NADIR, THE TEMPTATION OF ST. ANTHONY). CRITICAL ACCLAIM OF HIS WORK HAS BEEN HIGH: OF ARCANA CELEBRATED CANADIAN POET GWENDOLYN MACEWEN WROTE..."IN THE PAST I HAVE HEARD SEVERAL OTHER PIECES OF MUSIC WHICH HAVE BEEN WRITTEN FOR MY POETRY, BUT NOTHING HAS SUCCEEDED IN MOVING ME TO THE DEGREE THAT ARCANA HAS."
NE LE 21 MARS 1953 A VOLOS, EN GRECE, OU IL FAIT SON PREMIER APPRENTISSAGE MUSICAL, CHRISTOS HATZIS POURSUIT SES ETUDES AUX ETATS-UNIS A PARTIR DE 1974, D'ABORD A LA EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC, PUIS A LA STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK A BUFFALO, OU SES PROFESSEURS SONT NOTAMMENT JOSEPH SCHWANTNER, LEJAREN HILLER, WLODZIMIERZ KOTONSKI ET MORTON FELDMAN. APRES SON DOCTORAT EN 1982, IL S' INSTALLE AU CANADA ET DEVIENT EVENTUELLEMENT CITOYEN CANADIEN. D' ABORD INTERESSE PAR LES ACCORDS MICROTONAUX DE LA FIN DES ANNEES 70, IL S' ADONNE AU DEBUT DES ANNEES 80 A DIVERSES EVOCATIONS MUSICALES POUR ENFIN CREER UNE SYNTAXE MUSICALE INDEPENDANTE DE LA MATIERE UTILISEE (NADIR, THE TEMPTATION OF ST. ANTHONY). LE CELEBRE POETE CANADIEN GWENDOLYN MACEWEN LUI RENDAIT UN HOMMAGE TRES APPRECIE EN ECRIVANT AU SUJET DE ARCANA: J'AI SOUVENT ENTENDU DES MUSIQUES SUR MES POEMES, MAIS RIEN NE M' A JAMAIS AUTANT EMUE QUE ARCANA". |
