In HolQeD vol. 2 no. 4, Okrand gave us a few musically related
words. "Music" is {QoQ}, meaning, "musical sound, whether or
not a Klignon voice is participating in producing this sound".
{bom} is both the noun "song" and the verb "sing", though he
notes that it might be more accurately translated as "chant".
The noun might also be translated as "chant". Given that, you
might go with {QoQghojwI'}. Good luck pronouncing that glide
from {Q} to {gh}. It can certainly be done, but not by the
faint of heart, average human who doesn't quite have {Q} down.
