- The Hurrian Hymn No. 6 (h.6) is the world's oldest surviving substantially complete work of notated music. Discovered on clay tablet in the 1950s, it dates to 1400 BC in the Amorite-Canaanite city of Urgrit (present day Syria).
Background on the Hurrian Hymn, explains why this is the oldest KNOWN melody:

Translation by musicologist Richard Dumbrill in 1998. He made this possible:

I'd had a long day at the office and decided to play this piece to unwind when I got home. I'm glad I pressed the record button because I think this take, although originally a warm-up to get into the mood to play, captured something of the music's magic.
I would normally edit out the first 20 seconds or so, but when I watched the clip, I thought it added something to the mood.
This recording is also a bit surreal because the juxtaposition of the age of the piece with the suburban background noises of birds, dinner being prepared by my loving wife, and an overhead plane.
Some more of my recordings:
Flamenco: • Seguiriyas - looking deep
Renaissance (Scarborough Fair): • Scarborough Fair
Romantic classical: • The testament of Ameli...

I live less than 100 meters away from the place where this was originally composed, and let me tell you, the ancient city of Ugarit is more than breathtaking.
We owe to the city of Ugarit so much. Want to visit someday
As a 1300 bc kid, back then the city looked amazing!

Where the clay tablet was dug up. Could have been composed hundreds, even thousands, of years earlier anywhere in bronze age ancient near east
I just google mapped it. Its a bunch of broken stones. Have you ever been outside your land?
I don't think anyone in history could have seriously imagined their music would be heard thousands of years later. This is just incredible to hear.
Agree. It makes one marvel at our current connected world.
Not just heard, but sent through the ether immediately for anyone to hear whenever they wanted and for as many times they wished, all over this entire planet of which the composer probably wasn't aware and could never imagine would have these technologies!!!
I wonder if Dick Clark considered having the original artist on Bandstand? I woulda given the tune maybe a 55. Lousy beat and you really can't dance to it. Just sayin'.

Thank you very much...
What is meant by “translation”? Is that an arrangement for the instrument?
@@josephballerini3730 this song predates musical notation by a loooong time. the writing that describes it physically describes what to do to the instrument to play the song (similarly to how, before we had modern math notation, they would have to describe formulae with natural language. Pythagoras would have stated his own theorem as 'the square of the length of the hypoteneuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the remairing sides' etc). The language is so old that we don't fully understand it, so there are many interpretations of what this oldest melody is supposed to be
@@nerdycatgamer that’s fascinating. Thanks for explaining.
There are about as many interpretations of this ancient text as there are people who have studied it, each bringing their own assumptions and presupposition to bear. On the tablet itself, the music is presented as a sequence of names of pairs of strings on a harp or lyre, each followed by a number; there is also a term that identifies the tuning of the instrument, corresponding to a key signature. That’s all. As he comments above, this interpretation is that of Richard Dumbrill, who interprets the string pairs as denoting the endpoints of melodic runs either five notes down or three notes up. In contrast, the late Anne Kilmer proposed, 50 years ago, that the string pairs were played together as two-note chords the specified numbers of times.
Thanks for that.
Immediately curious how an ancient score coincided with the guitar
What's the other one sound like? Cause this one was...meh.
bruh. your undeveloped brain is meh.
This is probably #1hit in mesopotamian charts 8000 years ago. There were total like 7 lyra players across the whole empire at the time and one of them decided to record his creation. Listening to this was like watching a toddler making its first steps. Without this work there would be no trap, or mumble rap or whatever else you listen to today.
You are closer in time to jesus than this work. Someones heart was filled with joy when composing this so you could hear it 8000 years later.

As a bus driver,
l can confirm this to be accurately played oldest melody known
I love you.
I am the actual composer of this piece. I began writing it while I was waiting for the bus around 1400 BCE and I think I see coming right now! Yep that's my bus, finally! The driver better accept my transfer, it's not my fault he's running a bit late.....gotta go now.....
You’re only qualified to confirm if the wheels on the bus do indeed go round and round
😂😂😂😂
As the latest owner of The Tardis I can confirm that melody is more or less correct but the pitch is 3 semitones higher than the original. The running and maintenace of said Tardis is prohibitive so any Thals, Daleks, cybermen and the like out there who would be willing to donate I'd be most grateful.
Weird I'm literally tearing up. The thought that I just listened to something that someone over 3,000 years ago also listened to. Beautiful
Kind of. They didn't have guitars.
@@jameshoffa7085 and we also don't know the actual melody -- only the finger positions. and yet there is magic there.
This one is arguably not accurate. If you want to hear the oldest musical piece with specific melody notation, go listen to the Seikilos Epitaph. It's from 200 BC (aka. 1000 years younger than the hurrian hymn)
there was instructions how to play it on a lyre

Those who are moved by this should try making an appointment with a rare books librarian at their nearest large university and ask to see a sampling of their collection of medieval manuscripts.
It's a white-glove affair, if you can manage it. Even so, to rest your gloved hand on the lines and know you're touching the very words, the very parts of the vellum touched by a scribe some 800 or so years ago...
This listening experience brought that former memory back so vividly and immediately.
Still sitting with goosebumps.
What a fantastic idea. I live in Vancouver and there are 2 good universities here, UBC and SFU. I hope they will have something like this, at least in the Music dept. of UBC. Since we're on the west coast there's a lot of stuff from the native peoples and their middens, their literal garbage sites. For me, if youve seen one arrow-head, you've seen them all and the stone "tools" could be any chipped rock. Even if they are shaped for a purpose, there are thousands of them, so they're hardly rare.
I can only imagine how beautiful the illuminated vellum pages must be!!! I can almost hear the sound the make as each page is gently turned. Does one bring one's own gloves, I wonder? These days I would think a mask might be in order too! That's good. Things like these need the best protection and care we can offer. Thanks for your idea!!! What a great outing to take someone to!!!
@@Unknownentityfeline I'll bet you can get to see some mss. at one or both of your local university libraries -- good luck. You won't regret it! Nearby is UW in Seattle, which is certain to have a good collection of medieval mss., & farther south is UO in Eugene, Ore., which also does. UO rare books coll. has a miniature bible (looks like something reduced in a photocopier... but hand-made, astonishing). They have a spectacularly illuminated book of hours, probably made for a wealthy woman's private devotions. Those were my two favorites. But I also loved the large mss. of works by Church Fathers made for student study. The latter featured student marginal markings & doodles. The whole display I got to see was an enchantment! Our Medieval Latin prof arranged our class's visit with the rare books librarian. He provided us with the gloves.

I was an English major, and we got to white glove some vellum books with gorgeous writing and lovely painted margins. I can absolutely agree with what you are saying.

Beautifully played and what a truly haunting sound it is, drifting through the centuries for us to appreciate today. I'm glad you didnt re -record it and left it how it happened, sometimes we over think and do things, spontaneity is often more magical.

It's drifting from the 90's.
This is from a translation of an ancient text that some people believe to be a description of music. There are several interpretations, some of which are simple chords produced by plucking a pair of strings from time to time as necessary to punctuate spoken words.
@@goodcitizen3780
A rather cynical reply.
The reason It's believed to be a musical notation is because it IS a musical notation and is described as such by the original Arkkadian musical instructions below the notation itself. Also just because a piece of music is arranged in any certain decade, doesnt make it of that decade, the Hurrian Hymn origins are still from 1400bc. Just as a 21st century recording of John Dowling, doesnt make it 21st century music, it remains from the 16th century.
@@johnbrereton5229
"Cynical" is not appropriate here.
There is no musical notation on the tablet. None whatsoever.
There was no such thing as musical notation for thousands of years after the hardening of the clay.
This melody was created entirely in 1991.
It is entirely of the 1990's.
It was inspired by an abstract idea extrapolated from an ancient clay tablet which, at the most honest and basic levels, may or may not have described a process by which to create some musical note or notes.
It is not the same thing as a rendition of Bach. We know what Bach sounded like. There is notation. Your jest about Dowling in is, of course, a false equivalent.
If I read about how Charlie Parker played, and never listened to his music, only read it described what he did to the instrument without any musical notation or even verbage, and then wrote a song inspired by what I read, it is a song that I just created. It is not a Charlie Parker original circa 1952. To suggest that would be laughably ridiculous.
What is scratched into the tablet is a description of actions to be performed on what is believed to be a musical instrument. There is nothing which says how it might have sounded. Nothing at all.
You want to seem intelligent, I get that. You might even seem to make sense to anyone who isn't educated on the subject. To anyone who is educated you sound ridiculous.
Interpretations vary so widely they can hardly be discussed here. Of the ideas that what is described is a musical piece there is no real consensus. Theories range from melodic pieces (which, oddly enough, always incorporate modern tunings, scales and general theory), to simple two string chords plucked at such a time and interval as to punctuate spoken prayers, much like we see cymbals used even today.
In fact, cynic, historically, music's role in religious ceremonies is more akin to punctuation than melodiousness.
I'd like to see you write about something that you are educated on. I'll bet it would be nearly impeccable. However, your emotional pieces, like this one, leave something to be desired.
@@goodcitizen3780
You are the one desperate to sound intelligent, but in a rude, offensive and somewhat arrogant fashion. Any ancient text will be difficult to decipher. However, it is clearly music and even contains the composers of other fragments, though the Harrian Hymn is the most complete.
I've worked in the music industry for over 50years so I am somewhat educated in this subject. However, I won't respond to any more of your smug attempts of conceited provocation.
@@johnbrereton5229
It's not provocation. It is fact.
And you can't claim victim when you come out simultaneously swinging and misusing vocabulary.
Working in the oil field doesn't mean you're educated in making gasoline.
Conversely, making gasoline for 50 years doesn't mean you are adept at drilling for oil.
You haven't been studying these "texts" for 50 years, or any amount of time.
You have no idea what you're talking about and your instant insults, naive ideas and false equivalents speak directly to that.
If you know music then you know that proper musical notation didn't begin until 2000 years after these tablets were made.
What the tablets describe is indisputably actions taken upon an instrument of some kind in order to produce particular sounds which are not described in any way.
Here's the proof, projector:
What did the original sound like?
What key was it in?
In which time signature was it played?
Was it melodic?
Here's a shorter version of the same proof, musical one.
Post a video of what the original sounded like.
Go ahead. It's musical notation right? Then you should be able to reproduce it from the "text".
You can't. Because there is no musical notation. That is sensationalism that you get from googling a subject that you are uneducated on.
That is provocation. That is direct challenge. Put your money where your mouth is, Mr. Music. Play the original.
That's why there are so many interpretations and none of them agree. Because it is entirely subjective because there is objectively no musical notation whatsoever. Only direction on how to affect a series of sounds on an instrument which is barely described and of which we can only imagine.
Furthermore, it was written in a language that we barely understand.
Foolish and pitiable.
Powerful. Thankyou for the ancestral memories. Felt like I was home for two and a half minutes.
Thank you. That is the power of music.
Ok, this is now my favorite recording of this tune. I agree, you captured something special here!
Thank you!
Beautiful and haunting. Incredibly powerful that it survived and could be transcribed. Makes me wonder so much about those who once played it. Loved your writing and reflections in the caption.

Glad you like it!
Beautiful music beautifully played. Thank you so much for sharing.
That ancestral music reminds me of my childhood, when I started playing the Spanish guitar. I remember that I composed pieces that tried to be like classical music but without any knowledge of musical theory. Everything was intuition. Sometimes I found primitive and simple but evocative and ancestral melodies Like that music that you have been kind enough to share with us. Thank you
Way cool!
Just beautiful. Imagine hearing it when it was first composed.
What a beautiful sound ❤️ the song as well as the guitarplaying
Thank you
Probably every player should learn that, on any instrument. So old, simple to play & very evocative, knowing it was played & heard three & a half thousand years ago.
It was written in the 1990's. Smh
The Internet is the greatest source of information ever achieved.
Too bad most of it is either intentionally false or else erroneous.
There is something uniquely soothing in the piece
Beautifully, masterfully executed-----stay musical and thank you so very much for sharing with everyone. 💃🎵🎶🎶🎶
You have just blown me away with that piece, Sir. Timeless has a new definition...Hats off to you!
Well, I just played the sheet music that I found. Hats off to the historians and archeologists that made this happen!
Wonderful, ethereal... We humans have always reached toward something beyond ourselves with our music & so this feels entirely recognisable to me.
Thank you for your guitar playing; you really captured something magical.
Thank you!
well said
Amazing to think that they had the same minor scale as we do now. Or close enough, I suppose.
This tune sounds like the background music to a cosy RPG.
Astute observation.
That is because this music was written in 1991.
It is not 3400 years old.
There was a text which may have indicated that some music was played at religious ceremonies. This music, of it could be called music, could not be written down because there was no musical notation until thousands of years later.
It does seem to describe some actions which might be caused upon an instrument of one kind or another in order to create a musical sound but we have no way of knowing what that might have sounded like.
There are many guesses and another such interpretation has it that a pair of strings were plucked here and there to punctuate spoken prayers.
I hope that explains why it sounds so modern. Because it is entirely modern.
Amazingly PERFECT!
I've listened several times now... & will do more!
Thank you, Dear One
Thank you, that was beautiful
Really felt like something out of history, full of the emotions and memories of a forgotten world
straight fire!!
I liked this much better than the overly stylized versions I've heard. I wonder how it sounds on the original instrument or if we have a modern equivalent. Great job

I’ve listened to numerous of these Hurrian vids. Each is vastly different. Fact is no one knows what this music sounded like.
Very true. We simply don't know. What I've played here is the best possible interpretation available today. I don't think we'll ever truely know what it sounded like.
@@BluegumCounterpoint
Best possible?
That is very subjective. It is certainly one of the most popular and recent of the melodic interpretations.
Best possible, in this context, should mean most accurate.
Interpretations that leave out modern scales and melodic concepts and use instruments in a way more accurate to religious ceremonies of the past are more solid choices for "best possible".
Historically, music has been used to punctuate prayer. Imagine the difference between the cymbals we hear in modern religious ceremonies versus cymbals we hear in modern music.
Are the cymbals musical in both?
Are both uses considered music?
The text that this musical piece was inspired by was written at a time long before the advent of musical notation. It was written long before the time of the written alphabet, in any way that is meaningful to the modern reader.
In fact, it wasn't even written in any way that you or I would recognize as "written".
Little lines were scratched into clay. That's it. That is marking. It is proto-writing and the language is a proto language in that it does not even appear to be complete. We cannot even fully understand the language, much less the "text".
"Best possible" is almost as egregious as failing, for years, to credit the musicologist who actually wrote this piece of music in 1991.

We may eventually learn that the throat singers of Northern Canada sign more ancient tunes.
Ur spot on. I hear the bass you refer to.
I think every ancient human civilisation had their own music and many were much older than the Hurrian Hymn #6. But the Hurrian Hymn #6 is the oldest known tune that has been written down and can be played with reasonable accuracy.
It's difficult to know, but ancient music that has been passed down through generations may or may not have changed over time. The throat singers of northern Canada, the ritual music of the Australian aborigines and other older civilisations are unique and mysterious artforms.
Thank god that the Europeans devised musical notation that preserves music precisely as it was played. Although it has limitations, I believe that musical notation was the greatest innovation in all of music history because no music will ever disappear again.
Haha I genuinely love each comment and response in here
Aboriginal music deserves a closer look now we've finally realised that their *legends* are actually history & the history checks out.

It's so meditative played slowly. I wish there had been a notation for tempo. Maybe it's better this way, though, so each musician can adapt. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
There is no notation at all, much less for tempo.
This is a translation of written text that predates musical notation by thousands of years.
The original text may or may not describe certain actions that one might cause upon some instrument or another in order to affect some unknown musical tone. This music was written in 1991.
Another, much older translation has it that a pair of strings were to be plucked at certain times to punctuate spoken prayers. Much like you might hear cymbals being used at religious ceremonies even today.

The video starts and while you know the camera was running you reach over and take a swig out of your bottle of root beer or whatever the hell it was. Then you give that odd look into the camera and you hadn't even touched the guitar yet! I'll never know whether you eventually did or not because if you were really thirsty you could have had a sip before the camera started running. You weren't thirsty at all, you just did it as a some kind of weird affect to add to your performance. I just couldn't take it anymore!
