Written on a tombstone near Ephesus, this is one of the oldest surviving pieces of music in existence -written sometime between the years 200 BC and AD 100.
This is not exact replication of the notated music, but is my rendition.
The lyrical version (not contained here) is essentially a 'drinking song' and is about living life to the fullest. There is a beautiful nostalgic quality that is captured in the melody. A true folk song.
