3,000-year-old hymn reveals musical links across Bronze Age civilizations from India to the Mediterranean

The Hymn to Nikkal is the earliest known musical score found to date. A recent study suggests that this brief composition could be of unprecedented importance: evidence of a shared global musical culture in the Bronze Age.
