Hey y'all!

This melody is part of the "Hurrian Songs," a collection of music that was inscribed in the cuneiform language onto clay tablets. It was found in what is today Northern Syria. No composer is known but it has been confirmed to be the oldest surviving piece of annotated music.

There are multiple interpretations of the written music, but this video is one of the more popular ones, played on a lyre. I hope that you enjoy this as much as I did! It is an amazing and interesting find. If you know any ancient music, please share it in the comments below!
