jan 1, 1400 BC - Hurrian songs
Description:
Collection of music inscribed in cuneiform on clay tablets. One of these tablets, which is nearly complete, contains the Hurrian hymn to Nikkal (also known as the Hurrian cult hymn or A Zaluzi to the Gods, or simply h.6), making it the oldest surviving substantially complete work of notated music in the world. While the composers' names of some of the fragmentary pieces are known, h.6 is an anonymous work.Added to timeline:
