The Seikilos Epitaph - the oldest surviving complete musical composition in the world, dated to between 200BCE and 100CE.

The notation and lyrics are carved on a tombstone.



Lyrics:

While you live, shine
have no grief at all
life exists only for a short while
and time demands an end.

And listen to it here.
