The singing postman 26 year old Nathan Evans from Ayreshire has gone viral on Tic Tok with the performance of sea shanties.  The  duet feature enables  his followers to join in the singing, with very pleasing effect.

Once you hear it you will be hooked! The very popular “The Wellerman” is especially heartening in these times when people are waiting for better times and good news.

This is the oldest piece of music that can be reconstructed and therefore played is the Hurrian Hymn no 6. It was found in the Royal Place of Ugarit which is found in modern Syria but those days was in Canaan.  This piece of music is about 3400 years old. It was only discovered in the 1950s with other  five tablets containing instructions to play music but unfortunately the others were too ruined to be able to be deciphered. 

The song was meant to be played with a lyre, it also had lyrics but only some of them can be read. It appears to be a prayer to Nikal the Goddess of Orchards. It was written in the Hurian language. 

The instructions for another song were also found, this would be even older going back about 4000 years but there are only fragments and it’s impossible to play it.
