The origins of ancient music and the accomplishments of music history, forming a theoretical framework, can be traced back to the civilizations around the Mediterranean, with a focus on the literature left behind by numerous pioneering scholars. From the establishment of musical
scales, such as the influential tetrachord, to the philosophical insights
of ancient Greek thinkers, music has transcended mere entertainment.
It held a revered place in education, offering a path of personal reflection and guiding individuals on their life's journey.
Ancient Greek philosophers were logical in their theories about how
music affects the human mind and life, and as part of education, music
was meaningful enough to be called a basic education.
It was seen as a tool that connected music and life, offering a means of personal introspection and guidance for one's life direction.

Greek and Roman mythology has been sublimated and reinterpreted
by many artists as the flower of the muses and has been studied and 
developed as a practical technology in the holistic arts and humanities, 
leaving behind a great cultural heritage, giving us advice, and presenting inspiration.
During the ancient Greek era, hymns dedicated to Apollo, the god of music, prophecy, and healing, were engraved on the walls of the Delphic Temple. These hymns served as a testament to the significance of music within Greek culture. Remarkably, some of the oldest well-preserved musical notations can be found in the form of the 'Seikilos Epitaph.'
This epitaph consists of characters and symbols that represent sheet music, providing valuable insight into the musical traditions of that time.

The invention of the solmization system by Guido of Arezzo, known as solfège, was a significant contribution to the evolution of music theory.
By applying solfège to sacred chants written in Latin, the understanding
of musical value and the concept of music theory deepened.
This system, in conjunction with the interplay between human emotions and trained skills, has facilitated the development of these concepts.
As a result, our senses have gained a deeper insight into the art of music, inspiring us to embark on a journey of endless exploration and study.
When I was young, the scores of Gregorian chant resonated with me, evoking a visual beauty that stimulated my auditory imagination.

In my book, "Gift," I delve into the vibrations of my mind inspired by art and historical relics I encountered long ago. It draws upon one of the theoretical classes I taught in college, which focused on the structural characteristics in various disciplines like architecture, painting, history, and philosophy, all of which have partial connections to music. 
The book comprises a short story that blends characters from ancient Greek and Egyptian mythology with real figures from history, infused with imaginative elements.

Visual perception can transform into auditory perception, and auditory 
perception can manifest as visual perception. Just as one can experience the visual sense through the auditory perceptions of the mind or perceive the beauty of a flower solely through its fragrance with closed eyes.
I hope that as you paint the scenes described in this book onto the canvas of your imagination and journey through its pages, the lingering traces in your mind, when you eventually close the book with its completed colors, will remain as an afterglow. May you view the fragrance of the flowers in visual hues, keeping the essence of this experience alive within you.
