In the early 20th century there was a debate on the influence of European music on Byzantine music, Hourmouzios was one of the proponents of Byzantine music, and he admonished those who were influenced by European music and changed Byzantine scales to match it.[2]

In 1884 Hourmouzios started publishing and editing the newspaper Σάλπιγξ, which published the poems of Vasilis Michaelides.[1][5]
