For the 200th anniversary of the founding of Sweden's Royal Academy of Music, composer Ingvar Lidholm was commissioned to come up with a stamp design incorporating musical notation. Shown below is what he came up with. This abstract notation, titled "Stamp Music," represents an actual piece of music written for soprano and tam-tam which was recorded and released as a 45 rpm record, titled "Stamp Music I." Here is a YouTube video of a live performance from the 2nd Basel Int'l Vocal Competition 2022, with soprano Kiyomi Nakamura (and sans tam-tam). The piece does have intelligible lyrics which can be heard at 2:39-2:52 and at the very end of the piece.

Interesting stamps. Music my ears don't appreciate.

Interesting stamps. Music my ears don't appreciate. Yeah, it certainly doesn’t fit into my typical playlist of Beethoven, Dvořak, and Mahler. LOL
