Musisi kelahiran Jakarta tahun 1914 ini adalah komponis di zaman perjuangan yang karyanya terus populer hingga sekarang. Dikenal sebagai penulis lagu-lagu perjuangan, lagu ciptaan Ismail Marzuki sebenarnya memiliki tema yang bervariasi dalam berbagai aliran musik. Karya-karya Ismail Marzuki melodius, bersyair kuat dan memiliki nilai keabadian. Lagu-lagunya menggugah semangat nasionalisme, seperti Gugur Bunga dan Halo-halo Bandung. Walaupun ditulis di masa perang, lagu-lagu Ismail Marzuki tak lantas melulu tentang semangat mengusir penjajah. Ia melihat masa perang dari sisi lain dan lahirlah karya-karya sentimental berlatar perang yang membuat hati sarat dengan nostalgia apabila didengar sekarang. Lagu Sepasang Mata Bola bercerita tentang pertemuan laki-laki dan perempuan di stasiun kereta api. Sang perempuan baru tiba di Yogyakarta ketika melihat sepasang mata menatapnya dari balik jendela keretanya. Di sana berdiri seorang perwira yang baru saja tiba dari Jakarta terlihat takut dan ragu namun ada kerelaan tesirat di wajahnya untuk menjalani tugasnya di Yogyakarta. Mereka berdua bertatapan, sang perempuan terpikat, dan mendoakan perwira agar ia selamat supaya mereka bisa bertemu kembali. Dalam lirik yang singkat, Ismail Marzuki mengetengahkan berbagai perasaan yang dirasakan oleh banyak orang di masa itu. Pengamatan Ismail Marzuki terhadap sisi romantisme perang melahirkan lagu-lagu yang bertema cinta dan perjuangan. Lagu-lagunya yang masih dinikmati hingga sekarang adalah Selendang Sutra, Melati di Tapal Batas, Aryati, Jangan Ditanya Kemana Aku Pergi, Payung Fantasi, Sabda Alam, Kopral Jono, dan Sersan Mayorku.

Standing there is a soldier who has just arrived from Jakarta looking scared and unsure. However, there shown in his eyes is a willingness to serve the country in Yogyakarta.
