	RECITAL REVIEW: Engaging Fare By Scott Cmiel (Antigoni Goni, October 23, 2005)
		On Saturday at Herbst Theater, Greek guitarist Antigoni Goni brought formidable technical and interpretive abilities to bear on a fascinating program featuring a world premiere, compelling but rarely performed works from Greece, Japan, Cuba, and Brazil, as well as a spellbinding reading of one of the most popular works in the guitar repertoire.
		The first performance of Dusan Bogdanovic's Hymn to the Muse, based on some of the oldest written music our culture has preserved, was for me the highlight of the recital.
		Using the ancient modes and unusual rhythmic structures of the originals, Bogdanovic, like Bartók before him, wrote brilliantly constructed and emotionally satisfying music which was both contemporary and true to the original sources.

		with a good plain (western trained) soprano rendition of the Delphic Hymns and the Seikelos inscription (not as resolutely 6/8 as it is sometimes done but it's obviously the most singable of the extant stuff, and quite lovely--I teach it to students and many of them like it too).
		As far as the tunes for ancient Greek music goes, I know there is some kind of musical notation inscribed with text on a block in the Delphi museum.
		The notation as I recall it is a letter notation but the letters don't necessarily have anything to do with pitch.
