lumpenproletariatSeikilos Epitaph by Seikilos, 1-2CE, Greece (Türkiye)
Context: The Seikilos epitaph is a complete Ancient Greek song engraved on a funerary stele from the 1st–2nd century AD, making it the oldest fully preserved musical composition with both melody and lyrics intact. Found near modern Aydın in Turkey, it was dedicated by a man named Seikilos, possibly in memory of Euterpe. Its brief poem urges the reader to “shine while you live” and not give in to sorrow, expressing a clear, timeless philosophy on the brevity of life. Because the notation is fully preserved, it offers one of the clearest glimpses into how ancient Mediterranean music actually sounded.

Ancient civilizations have always fascinated me. As a side project, I'm delving into how Greece's rich heritage translates into modern media. 🏛️✨
Here is "Seikilos Moderna," composed by Daniel Hay, accompanied by a digital artwork featuring Euterpe, the muse of flute-playing.

Seikilos Moderna
@Homo_viator - yes, I agree, this is wonderful <3 especially because it is such a beautiful song, that still touches people from vastly different background. ^_^
BTW, I also tried it on my alto recorder, today.

Today, I learned an Ancient Greek song on my lyre (inspired by my online friend Tosca). ^_^
I used Egert Pöhlmann's 1970 book, but had to transpose the melody from e to d because of this lyre's tuning. 😅 Hope you like it!
