🎵 Brian Kay - Epitaph of Seikolos [Oldest Complete Song] 🇬🇷

The Seikilos epitaph is the oldest surviving complete musical composition, including musical notation, from anywhere in the world. The epitaph has been variously dated, but seems to be either from the 1st or the 2nd century CE. The song, the melody of which is recorded, alongside its lyrics, in the ancient Greek musical notation, was found engraved on a tombstone (a stele) from the Hellenistic town of Tralles near present-day Aydın, Turkey, not far from Ephesus. It is a Hellenistic Ionic song in either the Phrygian octave species or Iastian tonos. While older music with notation exists (for example the Hurrian songs), all of it is in fragments; the Seikilos epitaph is unique in that it is a complete, though short, composition. The following is the Greek text found on the tombstone (in the later polytonic script; the original is in majuscule), along with a transliteration of the words which are sung to the melody, and a somewhat free English translation thereof; this excludes the musical notation: "Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου μηδὲν ὅλως σὺ λυποῦ πρὸς ὀλίγον ἔστι τὸ ζῆν τὸ τέλος ὁ χρόνος ἀπαιτεῖ." "hóson zêis, phaínou mēdèn hólōs sỳ lypoû pròs olígon ésti tò zên tò télos ho khrónos apaiteî." "While you live, shine have no grief at all life exists only for a short while and Time demands his due." 💡HOW ? 🔽 📋 Licence Audio & Video: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/legalcode 🎥 Original Video: https://youtu.be/FvFuFj9CcxU ♾️ The links: - For Music (🎵) = COPY & PASTE [---] - For Video (🎥) = COPY & PASTE [~~~] - For Music & Video (🎵) & (🎥) = COPY & PASTE [---] & [~~~] --- ~~~ 🎵 MUSIC 🎥 VIDEO 🤴 Brian Kay 📌 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-0YNAEEXWjAQUyplon5ZCw --- ~~~ 🎥 VIDEO eDiting (eMotion) 🤴 Laurent Guidali ⭐ https://www.Etoile.app ✔️ DOWNLOAD: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lydraaqhvrj35ub/AADOoMTK-w23h3OyW6ym8dvKa?dl=0 🎼Music promoted by eMotion : 📼 Video Link: https://youtu.be/rzoGNk8s5aE 📋WHAT ? 🔽 🌟Brian Kay - Epitaph of Seikolos 💫Folk Music/Greek Music/Old Music World 🌌Creative Common Music ✨Music Universe (🎵) 📝Type: 🎵Music (🎤 Sing) 🌐 World Music 🍅 Mediterranean ⭐ European ⭐ Asian 🌱 Balkan 🇬🇷 Greek Music 🎎 Folk 🎸 Acoustic Music 🏕️ Ambient 🎺 Musical Instruments: 🎸 Greek Lyre 🎸 Ancient Lute 🎸 Har-Mose (Egyptian Lute) 🥁 Percussion 🔊Language: 🇬🇷 Ελληνικά (🇬🇧 description in English) 🕵WHO ? 🔽 🎵 Music Composed by Seikilos 🎸 Music Play by Brian Kay 📡 Posted by Brian Kay 📼 Video made by Brian Kay 🌅 Thumbnail by Laurent Guidali 📍WHERE ? 🔽 🇬🇷 Greece (Find Near "Tralles" {🇹🇷 Turkey}) [Composition] 🇺🇸 United States of America [Music Play] 🇺🇸 United States of America [Video eDiting Original] 🇫🇷 France [Video eDiting eMotion] 🕓WHEN ? 🔽 🎆 100-200 [Music Composition] 🎆 2021 [Music Play] 🎆 2021 [Video eDiting] 🎆 2022 [Video eDiting eMotion] 💌 Contact : emotionetoilecontact@gmail.com 🔖 React with official Hashtags : #Etoile #ETL #eMotion
