André Jolivet (1905-1974) is a French composer who was really inspired by the Antiquity and had a strong interest for atonality. He composed his Chant de Linos as a competition piece for the Paris Conservatory in 1944. He transcribed it for flute, violin, viola, cello and harp the same year.
Jolivet described the work as an ancient Greek mourning chant with wailing and dancing. But this piece is also about Linos, son of Apollo. A good music player, Linos taught Orpheus the Lyre and was killed by Heracles for criticizing him too much.
This is a recording of a concert, I did during my studies some time ago.
