"Music is one of the art elements that can generally be found in everyday life. However, do you know when the creation of the oldest song in the world took place? Here is the story of the oldest song in the world!"

"The Oldest Musical Work"

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Fragment of the most primitive music notation is known to originate from clay tablets in Sumeria, which dates back 4,000 years. The fragment contains instructions and hymns dedicated to honor the ruler Lipit-Ishtar. Lipit-Ishtar, who was the fifth ruler of the Isin dynasty in Mesopotamian history, is identified in Encyclopedia Britannica records."

The oldest known musical composition and song in the world, according to historians, tends to refer to "Hurrian Hymn No.6." This musical piece consists of lyrics for the goddess Nikkal, composed in the form of cuneiform around the 14th century BC. The song was discovered on clay tablets in the ruins of the city of Ugarit, Syria, in the 1950s.

Although "Hurrian Hymn No.6" is considered the oldest melody in the world, the meaning of the oldest musical composition remains a mystery and cannot be deciphered. In the end, it is not "Hurrian Hymn No.6" that becomes the oldest music. Instead, it is a Greek song that was born in the first century AD and known as the "Seikilos Epitaph". A song from the first century has proven to be the oldest song that still survives in its entirety to this day.

"Origin of a Song"

According to a report from Greek Reporter, this song was discovered in 1883, carved on a pillar or inscription in the Hellenistic city of Tralles, which is located near Aydın, Turkey. This song contains a melody and lyrics in ancient Greek musical notation. Although often considered a tombstone, some experts believe that it is likely not a burial marker. They believe that Seikilos erected this monument as a tribute or a way to showcase his expertise.

The song inscription was found with an inscription that reads "I am a tombstone, an image. Seikilos placed me here as an eternal sign of a memory without death."

Not only that, but also found were musical notations and a collection of short lyrics that read: "As long as you live, shine / There is no sadness at all / Life is only temporary / And time demands its sacrifices." These short lyrics are recorded in ancient Greek musical notation.

The last two words that still remain on the tombstone itself are: Σεικίλος Εὐτέρ[πη], which means "Seikilos to Euterpe". Therefore, according to this reconstruction, the tombstone and the epigram there were possibly dedicated by Seikilos to Euterpe, who is likely his wife. Each line of the lyrics consists of letters and notations that depict the melody of the song.

The existence of the intact and well-preserved inscription "Seikilos Epitaph" provides an opportunity for modern musicians and intellectuals to immerse themselves in the melody that contains sadness, based on the clearly engraved notes in the inscription.

"lagu" translates to "song" in English.
