eve palmer-sikelianos (1874-1952) was an american composer, choreographer, master weaver, and apphic feminist, whose devotion to ancient greek traditions helped inspire a modern revival of ancient greek culture. eva’s compositions were unique in their unadorned melodies, projecting the ancient into modernist music, well before minimalism. she studied ecclesiastical byzantine music in athens. she helped create a custom micro-tonal organ, the evion panharmonium, to play the 42 intervals unique to byzantine tuning. un her stagings of ancient greek tragedies during the late 1920s, she provided the choreography and hand-woven costumes, as well as some of the music. the rest of her music, mostly composed in the late 1930s and early 1940s, consistently focused on Greek-language monophonic chant, composed in byzantine notation, for voice, flute, cello, and oboe.
