Dear Mr. Theodorakis,
as a great admirer of your personality and your entire work, being a humble composer myself - of ballads in the Dalmatian 'klapa' style (for vocal polyphony groups or soloist) - and working with several fine Croatian singers and ensembles, it occured to me to make Croatian versions of your songs 'Kaimos', 'Crissophrasino filo' and 'Sto perigali'. I've done the lyrics, following the original ones - with exception of 'Crissophrasino filo', as I coldn't find any at the Internet - and a friend of mine, Mr. Robert Grubisic, an excellent musician and producer, living in the port city of Rijeka, is about to prepare fine arrangements... and an also outstanding young singer, Miss Leonora Surian (daughter of the world famous basso Giorgio Surian) would like to sing the lead, accompanied by two vocal groups, female Ventula of Split, and male Kastav of Rijeka... providing we get your permission and settle the issue over your author's rights, i.e. the price od compensation.
Looking forward to hear from your agent, with best regards!
Stjepo Martinovic, Zagreb, Croatia
