	Seikilos epitaph
		The Seikilos epitaph is famed as the oldest surviving example of a complete musical composition, including musical notation, from anywhere in the world.
		While older music with notation exists (for example the Delphic Hymns), all of it is in fragments; the Seikilos epitaph is unique in that it is a complete, though short, composition.
		It should also be noted that it is the actual inscription of the Epitaph that is dated to the first century AD, although of course it would be possible likewise to form a conjecture that the song itself was sung before this.

		The point of using the Delphic hymns and Seikilos epitaph is that they may help translate the the annotations into how they affect the music / lyrics / intonation of the lyrics.
		The Seikilos Epitaph is complete, but so far interpretations of the annotations are conjecture and highly controversial.
		You find that the Lament of Orpheus would actually be far more useful in interpreting the Seikilos Epitaph than the other way round, operating as it does as a form of "Rosetta Stone" between the two musical annotation systems.

	Sheet Music Digital - Middle Ages - Medieval Sacred Music
		To what extent the music of the Gregorian Chant represents a survival of the music of the ancient world is much debated by scholars, but certainly there must have been some influence, if only from the music of the synagogue.
		Only the smallest of scraps of ancient music have survived (for instance, the Seikilos epitaph), but those that have show a not surprising similarity of mode, shape and phrase conception to later western music.
		Chant survived and prospered in monasteries and religious centers throughout the chaotic years of the early middle ages, for these were the places of greatest stability and literacy.

		The epics of Homer and the lyrics of Sappho, for instance, were meant to be sung with instrumental accompaniment, but nothing remains of their scores.
		Fragments of Greek music are, however, extant, most notably scraps from tragedy (a choral song by Euripides for his Orestes and an instrumental intermezzo from Sophocles Ajax), a few hymns by Mesomedes of Crete (second century AD), and the Seikilos epitaph (dated variously between the 2nd century BCE and 1st century AD).
		Of Roman music, there remains but one meagre scrap: a line from Terences Hecyra set to music by his composer Flaccus.

		The other day it wandered to the following question: “What is the oldest surviving piece of written music?” I knew that modern musical notation was a relatively recent creation (probably less than a thousand years old), but I was certain that there must have been earlier techniques for writing down music.
		The answer is the Seikilos epitaph, a 2000-year-old tombstone in Turkey with a song written on it, even including Greek lyrics.
		The way the music was written quickly reminded me of cantillation, the symbols written above the Hebrew in the Torah that guides the chant.
