This is the first known written down melody. They had to work out the tuning for what they think would have been a lyre in order to play it. Thing is it gives me a kinda lo fi math rock vibe, like Don Caballero on a lyre, which is cool.

You can read about it here:

Nikkal was the goddess of orchards, if you're not vibing its worth waiting till the end. Its a slow burner.

*they worked out the tuning by translating the cunieform stone tablets not just randomly working it out

how are they so sure it's diatonic?
feels like europoids projecting

could be wrong for sure. This was my first thought as well, how can they know those notes correspond to certain sounds, without hearing them. I do like how they have made it sound though.

I don't know what diatonic means i'm not much of a music theory buff

basically a complete octave on a piano is the whole diatonic scale. it's been the standard in many european music traditions since the late medieval period

*and was especially favored by the Church for religious hymns as a "natural", harmonious ideal

where did this come from? This is actually what I was trying to find out when I came across the song

 No.4790

>>4789
Earliest recorded theorization of it is in Aristoxenus' Harmonics, and it's probably through him that the medieval Church picked it up
