What is a hurrian song?

The Hurrian Hymn No. 6, often referred to as a Hurrian song, is one of the oldest known pieces of written music, dating back to around 1400 BCE. Discovered in the ancient city of Ugarit (modern-day Syria), it is inscribed on a clay tablet in cuneiform script. The hymn is dedicated to the goddess Nikkal and includes musical notation, providing insight into early musical practices and the cultural context of the Hurrian civilization. Its significance lies in its historical value as an early example of Western music heritage.
