Trousers
Trousers (pants in North America) are an item of clothing worn from the waist to the ankles, covering both legs separately (rather than with cloth extending across both legs as in robes, skirts, and dresses).
In the UK the word "pants" generally means underwear and not trousers.Shorts are similar to trousers, but with legs that come down only to around the area of the knee, higher or lower depending on the style of the garment. To distinguish them from shorts, trousers may be called "long trousers" in certain contexts such as school uniform, where tailored shorts may be called "short trousers", especially in the UK.
In most of the Western world, trousers have been worn since ancient times and throughout the Medieval period, becoming the most common form of lower-body clothing for adult males in the modern world, although shorts are also widely worn, and kilts and other garments may be worn in various regions and cultures. Breeches were worn instead of trousers in early modern Europe by some men in higher classes of society. Since the mid-20th century, trousers have increasingly been worn by women as well. Jeans, made of denim, are a form of trousers for casual wear, now widely worn all over the world by both sexes. Shorts are often preferred in hot weather or for some sports and also often by children and teenagers. Trousers are worn on the hips or waist and may be held up by their own fastenings, a belt or suspenders (braces). Leggings are form-fitting trousers, of a clingy material, often knitted cotton and spandex (elastane).

Who were the Hurrians?
The Hurrians, a people casually mentioned in books on ancient history and virtually nowhere else. It turns out that as a people and civilization, they were just as important and influential as many of the other, more well-known ones that we read about during the late Bronze Age: the Hittites, Egyptians, Assyrians and Babylonians. They made up the bulk of one of the ancient world's most powerful kingdoms/empires - the Mitanni. In this program, you'll get to learn a thing or two about the Hurrians and their impact on the ancient Near East.

The Hurrian Hymn No. 6 (h.6) is the world's oldest surviving substantially complete work of notated music.

History of the Hurrian Kingdom of the Mitanni
In this program, we take a look at one of the lesser-known but extremely influential empires of the Bronze Age, known as the Kingdom of the Mitanni. At one time the most powerful player in the ancient Near East, the Mitanni held considerable sway over northern Syria, northern Mesopotamia, southwestern Anatolia and even areas of Canaan and Palestine. They married their daughters to Egyptian pharaohs and kept the most powerful states of the time in check. They are the Hurrian Kingdom of the Mitanni, and if you want to understand the geopolitics of the mid to late Bronze Age Near East, you should get to know them.

Hurrian Hymn To Nikkal / No. 6 (1400 BCE)
D O W N L O A D: https://sundriedtomatoes.bandcamp.com/track/hurrian-hymn-to-nikkal-no-6 The cuneiform tablet (pictured above) on which this hymn was written dates from approximately 1200-50 B.C.E, although some now date them as early as 1400 B.C.E. There have been at least five major attempts to render the notation on this tablet into modern musical notation, each with different results. I chose Richard J. Dumbrill's version due to its musical appeal rather than the likelihood of its correctness. "A Quick Word on Copyright" (11/12/20): I have received several questions about the copyright of this piece over the years. Although the cuneiform tablets themselves do not fall under copyright for obvious reasons, Dumbrill's transcription does; furthermore, although I used this s...

The Oldest (Known) Song of All Time
The Hurrian Hymn is History's first Song. Well, the oldest known song. If we're really splitting hairs: the earliest written song that can be reconstructed. We're not even sure what the song even sounds like, but each attempt to decode has its own value. All we are sure about is that the Hurrian Hymn is really, really ancient and nothing is as clear as it seems. *Note that the Hymn was not written in 1600BCE (my mistake), but probably around 1400BCE. Plus, the image I use of the goddess Nikkal is actually the goddess Asherah. There were no pictures of Nikkal, she's a bit too obscure it seems. Okay, my errors out the way, I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for 100 subscribers! H. #HurrianHymn #OldestSong ------------------ Sources: Hurrian Hymn: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurrian_Hym...

THE OLDEST SONG IN THE WORLD
This song to the Hurrian goddess Nikkal, is the oldest piece of music for which we have both the words and the accompanying musical notes. The work was written on clay tablets around 3500 years ago, and was discovered by archaeologists in the 1950’s in the ruins of the ancient city of Ugarit. The tablets, which are written in the Hurrian language using Sumerian cuneiform script, have been studied for years by a number of eminent scholars, and several theories have been advanced as to how the music should be interpreted. In my opinion, the most thorough and convincing interpretation (and by far the most musical), is that offered by archaeomusicologist, Dr. Richard J. Dumbrill, and that is the one which you hear in this video. The long-necked lute you see me playing is a cross between the...

Language family: Hurro-Urartian
a people who entered northern Mesopotamia around 2300 BC and had mostly vanished by 1000 BC. Hurrian was the language of the Mitanni kingdom in northern Mesopotamia and was likely spoken at least initially in Hurrian settlements in modern-day Syria.

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.

At one time the most powerful player in the ancient Near East, the Mitanni held considerable sway over northern Syria, northern Mesopotamia, southwestern Anatolia and even areas of Canaan and Palestine. They married their daughters to Egyptian pharaohs and kept the most powerful states of the time in check. They are the Hurrian Kingdom of the Mitanni, and if you want to understand the geopolitics of the mid to late Bronze Age Near East, you should get to know them.

D O W N L O A D:

The cuneiform tablet (pictured above) on which this hymn was written dates from approximately 1200-50 B.C.E, although some now date them as early as 1400 B.C.E. There have been at least five major attempts to render the notation on this tablet into modern musical notation, each with different results. I chose Richard J. Dumbrill's version due to its musical appeal rather than the likelihood of its correctness.
"A Quick Word on Copyright" (11/12/20):
I have received several questions about the copyright of this piece over the years. Although the cuneiform tablets themselves do not fall under copyright for obvious reasons, Dumbrill's transcription does; furthermore, although I used this score as a foundation, this particular audio recording is covered under "automatic copyright." Put simply, "I, myself, created the work and committed it to a form of media; therefore, I have de facto copyright."
That being said, I am happy to allow people to use this recording for whatever purposes they choose. A credit would be nice, but it's not something I'm too picky about; I'm just flattered that people enjoy it! Additionally, I'm interested to see what people do with it, so please send me a copy of your finished product if you can.

The Hurrian Hymn is History's first Song. Well, the oldest known song. If we're really splitting hairs: the earliest written song that can be reconstructed. We're not even sure what the song even sounds like, but each attempt to decode has its own value. All we are sure about is that the Hurrian Hymn is really, really ancient and nothing is as clear as it seems.
*Note that the Hymn was not written in 1600BCE (my mistake), but probably around 1400BCE. Plus, the image I use of the goddess Nikkal is actually the goddess Asherah. There were no pictures of Nikkal, she's a bit too obscure it seems.
Okay, my errors out the way, I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for 100 subscribers!

This song to the Hurrian goddess Nikkal, is the oldest piece of music for which we have both the words and the accompanying musical notes. The work was written on clay tablets around 3500 years ago, and was discovered by archaeologists in the 1950’s in the ruins of the ancient city of Ugarit.
The tablets, which are written in the Hurrian language using Sumerian cuneiform script, have been studied for years by a number of eminent scholars, and several theories have been advanced as to how the music should be interpreted. In my opinion, the most thorough and convincing interpretation (and by far the most musical), is that offered by archaeomusicologist, Dr. Richard J. Dumbrill, and that is the one which you hear in this video.
The long-necked lute you see me playing is a cross between the Turkish baglama and the Persian setar. I made this instrument myself as an experiment. It has four strings but the bass notes are a double course. It is tuned F-C-F. Lutes of this type have been played since the most ancient times throughout Mesopotamia and Anatolia.
The pipes you hear are replicas of the 5000 year old silver pipes discovered in the Sumerian city of Ur in the 1920’s. These are reed instruments but since I cannot play wind instruments and sing at the same time, I sampled the pipes and I am playing them by means of a pedal keyboard, similar to the kind of pedalboard used by organists. My left foot controls the lower register pipe, and my right foot the higher register. Players of these instruments used the technique known as “circular breathing”, which is still used today for wind instruments like the Armenian duduk, and the Australian didgeridoo. This song was performed live, in a single pass. Nothing was added or overdubbed.
The text of the song is not well understood because the Hurrian language has not been thoroughly studied and the original tablet has bits missing. The goddess Nikkal, like most lunar deities, was associated with fertility and childbirth. Here is a very rough idea of what experts believe is being sung by the singer. I have tried to make this poetic rather than literal.
I have made offerings to the goddess
That she will open her heart in love,
And that my sins will be forgiven.
May my jars of sweet sesame oil please her,
That she may look kindly upon us,
And make us fruitful.
Like the sprouting fields of grain,
May women bring forth with their husbands
And may those who are yet virgins
One day be blessed with children.

The Hurrians, a people casually mentioned in books on ancient history and virtually nowhere else. It turns out that as a people and civilization, they were just as important and influential as many of the other, more well-known ones that we read about during the late Bronze Age: the Hittites, Egyptians, Assyrians and Babylonians. They made up the bulk of one of the ancient world's most powerful kingdoms/empires - the Mitanni. In this program, you'll get to learn a thing or two about the Hurrians and their impact on the ancient Near East.

The Oldest known musical melody performed by the very talented Michael Levy on the Lyre. This ancient musical fragment dates back to 1400 B.C.E. and was discovered in the 1950's in Ugarit, Syria. It was interpreted by Dr. Richard Dumbrill. He wrote a book entitled "The Archaeomusicology of the Ancient Near East." Here is a link to it:

HURRIAN
Native to: Mitanni
Region: Near East
Era attested 2300–1000 BC
Language family: Hurro-Urartian
a people who entered northern Mesopotamia around 2300 BC and had mostly vanished by 1000 BC. Hurrian was the language of the Mitanni kingdom in northern Mesopotamia and was likely spoken at least initially in Hurrian settlements in modern-day Syria. It is generally believed that the speakers of this language originally came from the Armenian Highlands and spread over southeast Anatolia and northern Mesopotamia at the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC.

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.

In this program, we take a look at one of the lesser-known but extremely influential empires of the Bronze Age, known as the Kingdom of the Mitanni. At one time the most powerful player in the ancient Near East, the Mitanni held considerable sway over northern Syria, northern Mesopotamia, southwestern Anatolia and even areas of Canaan and Palestine. They married their daughters to Egyptian pharaohs and kept the most powerful states of the time in check. They are the Hurrian Kingdom of the Mitanni, and if you want to understand the geopolitics of the mid to late Bronze Age Near East, you should get to know them.

The cuneiform tablet (pictured above) on which this hymn was written dates from approximately 1200-50 B.C.E, although some now date them as early as 1400 B.C.E. There have been at least five major attempts to render the notation on this tablet into modern musical notation, each with different results. I chose Richard J. Dumbrill's version due to its musical appeal rather than the likelihood of its correctness.
"A Quick Word on Copyright" (11/12/20):
I have received several questions about the copyright of this piece over the years. Although the cuneiform tablets themselves do not fall under copyright for obvious reasons, Dumbrill's transcription does; furthermore, although I used this score as a foundation, this particular audio recording is covered under "automatic copyright." Put simply, "I, myself, created the work and committed it to a form of media; therefore, I have de facto copyright."
That being said, I am happy to allow people to use this recording for whatever purposes they choose. A credit would be nice, but it's not something I'm too picky about; I'm just flattered that people enjoy it! Additionally, I'm interested to see what people do with it, so please send me a copy of your finished product if you can.

The Hurrian Hymn is History's first Song. Well, the oldest known song. If we're really splitting hairs: the earliest written song that can be reconstructed. We're not even sure what the song even sounds like, but each attempt to decode has its own value. All we are sure about is that the Hurrian Hymn is really, really ancient and nothing is as clear as it seems.
*Note that the Hymn was not written in 1600BCE (my mistake), but probably around 1400BCE. Plus, the image I use of the goddess Nikkal is actually the goddess Asherah. There were no pictures of Nikkal, she's a bit too obscure it seems.
Okay, my errors out the way, I hope you enjoy this video. Thanks for 100 subscribers!

This song to the Hurrian goddess Nikkal, is the oldest piece of music for which we have both the words and the accompanying musical notes. The work was written on clay tablets around 3500 years ago, and was discovered by archaeologists in the 1950’s in the ruins of the ancient city of Ugarit.
The tablets, which are written in the Hurrian language using Sumerian cuneiform script, have been studied for years by a number of eminent scholars, and several theories have been advanced as to how the music should be interpreted. In my opinion, the most thorough and convincing interpretation (and by far the most musical), is that offered by archaeomusicologist, Dr. Richard J. Dumbrill, and that is the one which you hear in this video.
The long-necked lute you see me playing is a cross between the Turkish baglama and the Persian setar. I made this instrument myself as an experiment. It has four strings but the bass notes are a double course. It is tuned F-C-F. Lutes of this type have been played since the most ancient times throughout Mesopotamia and Anatolia.
The pipes you hear are replicas of the 5000 year old silver pipes discovered in the Sumerian city of Ur in the 1920’s. These are reed instruments but since I cannot play wind instruments and sing at the same time, I sampled the pipes and I am playing them by means of a pedal keyboard, similar to the kind of pedalboard used by organists. My left foot controls the lower register pipe, and my right foot the higher register. Players of these instruments used the technique known as “circular breathing”, which is still used today for wind instruments like the Armenian duduk, and the Australian didgeridoo. This song was performed live, in a single pass. Nothing was added or overdubbed.
The text of the song is not well understood because the Hurrian language has not been thoroughly studied and the original tablet has bits missing. The goddess Nikkal, like most lunar deities, was associated with fertility and childbirth. Here is a very rough idea of what experts believe is being sung by the singer. I have tried to make this poetic rather than literal.
I have made offerings to the goddess
That she will open her heart in love,
And that my sins will be forgiven.
May my jars of sweet sesame oil please her,
That she may look kindly upon us,
And make us fruitful.
Like the sprouting fields of grain,
May women bring forth with their husbands
And may those who are yet virgins
One day be blessed with children.

Trousers
Trousers (pants in North America) are an item of clothing worn from the waist to the ankles, covering both legs separately (rather than with cloth extending across both legs as in robes, skirts, and dresses).
In the UK the word "pants" generally means underwear and not trousers.Shorts are similar to trousers, but with legs that come down only to around the area of the knee, higher or lower depending on the style of the garment. To distinguish them from shorts, trousers may be called "long trousers" in certain contexts such as school uniform, where tailored shorts may be called "short trousers", especially in the UK.
In most of the Western world, trousers have been worn since ancient times and throughout the Medieval period, becoming the most common form of lower-body clothing for adult males in the modern world, although shorts are also widely worn, and kilts and other garments may be worn in various regions and cultures. Breeches were worn instead of trousers in early modern Europe by some men in higher classes of society. Since the mid-20th century, trousers have increasingly been worn by women as well. Jeans, made of denim, are a form of trousers for casual wear, now widely worn all over the world by both sexes. Shorts are often preferred in hot weather or for some sports and also often by children and teenagers. Trousers are worn on the hips or waist and may be held up by their own fastenings, a belt or suspenders (braces). Leggings are form-fitting trousers, of a clingy material, often knitted cotton and spandex (elastane).
