about this song
Echoes from Ugarit is much darker and more reflective, taking us back to 3400 B.C. and has some fascinating chord changes. This work is based on the oldest music notation in the world, discovered on clay tablets in the ancient Syrian city of Ugarit. These tablets contain a hymn to the moon god's wife, Nikkal. Although thousands of such tablets were discovered over the years, these very tablets contain words and notation of a song all composed in the same "maqam" or mode (called nid qabli).
