The "Hurrian Hymn No. 6" is recognized as the oldest known piece of music, originating around 1300 BC. This piece was unearthed in Ugarit, an ancient Syrian city, and is inscribed in the Hurrian language on a clay tablet that also includes musical notation. Canadian musician Peter Pringle has given us a modern take on what this ancient tune might have sounded like.
